In detail, Mr. Macron progresses among LR sympathizers (45%, +8) but loses on the left, among those close to EELV and LFI.
Less than a year before the presidential election, his low water level remains higher than his predecessors at the same time, François Hollande (16% in July 2016) and Nicolas Sarkozy (37% in June 2011).
The odds of Jean Castex, it does not move, 42% of good opinions.
Former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe remains at the top of the political figures acclaimed by the French: 41% of those questioned want him to have "more influence in French political life".
He is ahead of the ecologist Nicolas Hulot (33%) but also the re-elected president of Hauts-de-France Xavier Bertrand (30%), who garners three points after his electoral success.
