The French President is facing further humiliation as his approval rating drops even more amidst a cabinet reshuffle.
Down to only 26 per cent of the French people still supporting him and approving of him amidst the controversial cabinet reshuffle.
The poll data by Kantar Public published on Wednesday shows that 71 per cent of those surveyed say they have no confidence in the President’s ability to run the country.
Meanwhile, US President Trump’s approval rating of 40 per cent casts shadows on Macron’s and British Prime Minister Theresa May’s which is also less than 30 per cent, according to polling in July.
French voters have accused Emmanuel of appointing members to surround himself with ‘yes-men’ after three ministerial resignations.
Though he has been losing popularity and confidence at home, he’s taken a holiday and since Angela Merkel has made the shocking announcement, those in the pro-migration, anti-borders crowd, there is more pressure than ever on Mr Macron to lead Europe.
This despite the fact his own country have dubbed him out of touch and being the “president of the rich”.

The left continue to label anyone conservative as ‘far-right’ in their attempt to smear and discredit conservatives. It hasn’t slowed the rise of the right, one jot.
Polls in France now reveal that Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (RN) moves ahead of Emmanuel Macron’s La République En Marche (LREM). The right-wing parties gained a 30 per cent share of voting intentions in the Ifop poll.
The poll of voting intentions for the May 2019 European Parliament elections shows Le Pen’s RN rising from 17 per cent in August’s to 21 per cent currently, a move putting RN ahead of the LREM for the first time.
This is a five percentage increase from 25 per cent of voting intentions at the end of August and Sunday’s poll reveals quite succinctly that France has shifted towards the right since the election where Macron beat Le Pen.
The rise in populism is clearly playing a role in Le Pen’s popularity, though there is no denying Macron’s plunging popularity has been his own doing. He has even slunk below his predecessor, socialist François Hollande. That took some doing.
