PARIS, Oct. 31 -- French President Emmanuel Macron saw his efforts to breath fresh air into his five-year term with new cabinet, were in vain after three quarters of people still disapprove of his ruling way, a poll showed on Wednesday.
A Kantar Sofres-onepoint pollster found that only 26 percent of respondents still credit the 40-year-old top official to fix the country's economic and social problems, down by four percentage points compared to figures released earlier this month.
For the May-October period, Macron's popularity lost 15 points, it added.
Dogged by critics for having a vertical, monarchical way of governing and a reputation of arrogance, France's youngest top official in its modern history, suffered a setback, this month, after the three ministers' resignation that put into question his craftiness and unpopular economic and social reforms ignited public anger.
In a cabinet reshuffle on Oct. 16, he hoped "to form a renewed team with a second breath, but whose political mandate remains the same," according to his office, the Elysee.
The poll was conducted on Oct. 24-27. One Thousand people were questioned at their homes.
