For the first time since entering the Figaro Magazine barometer, Marine Le Pen comes in first place! In April 2010, his future rating was only 14%. Fourteen years later, it stands at 40%. Additional proof of the establishment of the National Rally in the French political landscape. Certainly, it is far from the scores achieved by its predecessors. Michel Rocard in 1988 was 1st with a future rating reaching 70%. Édouard Balladur in 1993 went up to 75%. But it was a different time.
The most important thing for Marine Le Pen is to succeed in expanding her audience to all categories of the population. It is on her left that she is making the most progress this month, just like Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally, 3rd in the ranking. Another notable fact, Marion Maréchal moved into 4th position!
Conversely, the executive is in difficulty. The media “wow” effect of Gabriel Attal’s appointment to Matignon does not translate to the French. Her confidence rating starts at 33%, just above that of Élisabeth Borne (30%), at the same level as that of Jean Castex.
The transition from Republicans to government was not fatal for the new Minister of Culture. On the contrary since it is rising in the barometer, particularly among right-wing sympathizers (5, to 35%). Those on the left also seem to appreciate this transfer from the opposition to the majority.
The mayor of Paris seems relieved by the appointment of her rival Rachida Dati to the government. Anne Hidalgo is raising her head a few months before the Olympic Games, which will mark a break in her mandate, and after which the next campaign for the 2026 municipal elections will begin.
