she steals the show from Emmanuel Macron

Gone are the days when Elisabeth Borne was in the hot seat, today the Prime Minister leads her government with the approval of the President of the Republic and the support… of the French. According to the latest Ifop poll, published on August 20 in the Sunday newspaperthe one who is very discreet about her married life would be very popular and would exceed Emmanuel Macron by four points. “This is unheard of for a re-elected president“estimates Frédéric Dabi, director general of the opinion department of Ifop, at JDD.

This observation is the result of a survey conducted jointly between the polling institute and the newspaper, with a panel of French people. Among them senior executives, people aged 65 and over, business owners and supporters of La République en Marche. Thereby, Elisabeth Borne obtains 41% of favorable opinions against 37% for Emmanuel Macron. A first for the Head of State as for the resident of Matignon.

Elisabeth Borne more popular than Emmanuel Macron

Why such a gap between Emmanuel Macron and Jean Castex’s replacement? According to Frédéric Dabi, the French who responded to the survey rent”his serious side, which they believe enables results to be achieved and projects to move forward“. The former Minister of Labor was able to impose her “determined” style despite a complicated cohabitation.

A proof of public confidence which is good to take for the Prime Minister. Indeed, the start of the new school year is looming and with it the difficult files of the government. If the so-called purchasing power law has been passed by the National Assembly, there are still projects on sobriety and energy transition, pensions and purchasing power. Thorny topics that should be at the heart of the debates for long weeks.
