  • RealClearPolitics shows about 42.5% approval versus 55.6% disapproval, reflecting a sustained majority of negative views.
  • Recent surveys cited by TF1 Info range from 41% to 48% approval, with Gallup registering 36% in mid-December.
  • Coverage attributes much of the discontent to economic dissatisfaction, with voters faulting his performance on inflation.
