The popularity of the executive, after rising last month at the start of confinement, went down, Emmanuel Macron losing 2 points (to 38%) and Edouard Philippe falling 3 points (to 41%), according to a BVA poll released Friday.
With 61% of bad opinions (+2) for the President of the Republic and 58% (+3) for the Prime Minister according to this survey for RTL and Orange, the two heads of the executive found, after the upturn in March , popularity levels close to those obtained since the start of the 2019 academic year.
While Emmanuel Macron called to "reinvent us, me first", only 39% of French people think that, following the health crisis, the Head of State will change his political line during the next two years of his five year term.
A barely larger proportion (41%) believe that he will change the way he exercises the presidential office.
Asked about the evolution of Emmanuel Macron's political line during the next two years of his five-year term, 41% of those polled want it to be neither more to the right nor more to the left, while 17% do not comment.
A quarter of those questioned would nevertheless like their political line to be more to the left (25%). Only 17% of those questioned are in favor of a more right-wing political line.
Invited to judge his action as President of the Republic, since his election in May 2017, respondents attribute to Emmanuel Macron an average score of 8.3 / 20.
It is the least bad note recorded since the implementation of this annual indicator but it remains weak and in line with previous assessments: 8/20 in April 2018 then 7.1 / 20 at the end of the crisis of "yellow vests "in April 2019.
Survey carried out online on April 22 and 23 among 976 people aged 18 and over, using the quota method. Margin of error from 1.4 to 3.2 points.
