An increasing popularity, but still fragile. The approval of Emmanuel Macron's share jumped 13 points in the midst of the coronavirus crisis and that of Edouard Philippe rose by 7, according to an Ifop Fiducial poll released on Tuesday.

With 46% (+13) of respondents who positively judge his action, the Head of State finds a level he had not reached since February 2018. But a majority (54%, -13) still judges it negatively, according to this monthly survey for Paris Match and Sud Radio.

The latest polls as a whole show a strong increase in popularity of Emmanuel Macron linked to the health crisis. But if the French close ranks behind the executive, the confidence they place in the government to manage the crisis is rapidly decreasing.

Macron's action judged in a mixed way

The rating of Edouard Philippe, very exposed in the management of the epidemic, climbs to a lesser extent, to 43% (+7), and returns to its level of June 2018, according to Ifop. A clear majority (57%, -7) judge its action unfavorably at the head of the government.

If the coronavirus crisis upsets the judgment of the French, their approval of the different aspects of Emmanuel Macron's action remains mixed, apart from the health emergency: 54% (+4) consider that it defends the interests of France abroad, but only 32% (+8) still consider it close to their concerns.

Survey carried out online from March 26 to 27 among 1,007 people aged 18 and over, using the quota method. Margin of error from 1.4 to 3.1 points.
