Macron Makeover: Fifty-Seven Percent Now Dissatisfied With French Leader
jonathanturley
We previously discussed how the coverage of President Donald Trump’s low polling numbers often omits that Bill Clinton had similar numbers and more importantly media darling French President Emmanuel Macron has similarly low numbers and those numbers are dropping. That does not change the fact that this White House is rapidly alienating allies both domestic and foreign. However, a new poll confirms that Macron shows the same dropping popularity over the same period of time with only 40 percent now in favor of the job that he is doing. If you think, it is time for a Macron makeover . . . think again.
Macron’s dissatisfaction number are virtually the same at Trump’s at 57 percent. It did not help that recently it was revealed that the French President spent €26,000 ($31,000) on makeup during his first 100 days in office. That is quite a makeover.
That is more than the average annual income of a French citizen . . . on the President’s face.
