We had to take risks this fall. This is what the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, did by preempting the return to politics with the gathering of his supporters in Tourcoing last Sunday. If he had to fall back on his ambitions of solitary breakaways and share the spotlight with Élisabeth Borne, he is progressing in opinion, especially among far-right sympathizers (30%, 12). His concern about the working classes seems to have resonated.
But the one who signs the best performance remains the Minister of Education, Gabriel Attal. He rose to third place on the podium, thanks to the support of supporters from the center (41%, 13) and the right (52%, 16). It must be said that by deciding to ban the abaya from schools, the minister pleased this electorate that the procrastination of his predecessor, Pap Ndiaye, exasperated.
With Bruno Le Maire and Olivier Véran, who both progressed by two points, Emmanuel Macron has a quartet of ministers, nicknamed the musketeers, on whom he can rely. But their motto is more “every man for himself” than “one for all and all for one”.
The former prime minister looks untouchable in the first place. Even left-wing sympathizers continue to like him (45%, 7) despite his positions on pension reform and immigration. Is it because they are orphans of a leader on the left?
Attention danger for the boss of La France insoumise. Far left supporters, his electoral heart, seem to be tired of his strategy of rupture (53%, -13). He now faces serious competition from François Ruffin at LFI but also from Fabien Roussel at the PCF.
