PARIS: Most French voters are now dissatisfied with Emmanuel Macron's performance, a poll showed on Sunday, marking a dramatic turnaround for a president who basked in a landslide election victory less than four months ago. The poll, conducted by Ifop for newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD) showed Macron's dissatisfaction rating at 57%, 14 percentage points worse than Ifop's last poll in July. Forty percent expressed satisfaction with the centrist leader - also down 14 points from July. Macron, who is midway through a schedule of official visits to various European capitals, has suffered a number of setbacks since being elected, including tough debates in parliament over labor reform, a standoff with the military and cuts to housing assistance. The Ifop poll showed the cumulative drop in Macron's popularity ratings.
