The popularity of Emmanuel Macron and Edouard Philippe was stable for the third consecutive month, with each 40% of favorable opinions, according to a Harris Interactive Epoka poll published on Friday.

The executive couple does not seem to suffer the repercussions of a month and a half of mobilization against the pension reform.

The Head of State is however in sharp decline with French people under 35 (-9 pts at 40%) and the Prime Minister loses 5 points in this age group (also at 40%), the most concerned by the reform project, according to this survey for LCI.

At the end of the conflict, confidence in the executive increased on the other hand to the right: Emmanuel Macron gained 8 points and Edouard Philippe 11 with those close to LR.

Several polls published in recent days gave the executive couple down.

Confidence in members of the government loses a point in one month to 28% and only Jean-Yves Le Drian progresses at the top of the table (45%, +3), ahead of Jean-Michel Blanquer (34%, -1) and Bruno The Mayor (32%, -1) in a ranking oriented significantly downward.

Survey carried out online from January 21 to 23 among 934 people aged 18 and over, using the quota method. Margin of error from 1.4 to 3.1 points.
