Macron’s approval drops 10 points, but what could disturb Jupiter’s repose?

The Vineyard of the Saker:



It’s the second-largest drop in postwar French history in the first 3 months of a presidency – only Chirac plunged further.
Macron’s approval rating currently stands at 54%, and while that would be (shockingly) good in 2021, it’s terrible for a new president, said this here journalist who insists on context for statistics.
Francois Hollande’s approval rating after 100 days was the lowest in postwar history, at 44%. This means Macron has 5 more weeks to lose 10 points, and that is certainly possible.
Because how is Macron spending his summer vacation? He isn’t taking one. He’ll be at work in August, as his priority is to quickly write a massively unwanted (and second) roll back to the labor code. His goal is to get it passed by Parliament as soon as possible in September, when France is still knocking the sand out of its sneakers.
