Fifty-five percent of those polled by Odoxa, an independent research institute, now want the broad, anti-government Yellow Jackets movement to call an end to three months of often violent street protests — the first time that support for the movement has dropped below a majority, France Inter reported. That's a rise of 6 points from the previous monthly poll.
The poll also shows a rise in voters' interest in the upcoming European Parliament election in May — the first national ballot since Macron was voted president in May 2017. While interest in the European vote rose to 62 percent in the latest poll, from 54 percent in December, that is still some way below the 83 percent turnout in the presidential election.[...]
The Yellow Jacket "fatigue" is helping Macron return to pre-protest levels of popularity. After slumping 6 points in October-December, to just 27 percent, the president has recouped most of that drop, with 32 percent of respondents in the latest poll saying they think he is a "good president."
