In the aftermath of the second round of the legislative elections, Ifop interviewed the French for the Journal du Dimanche to find out their level of satisfaction with the results of this vote, which is in many respects unprecedented. Our study reveals that they are particularly divided as to the “face” of the new Assembly.
Indeed, 52% (compared to 48%) of those questioned said they were satisfied with last Sunday’s results, of which only 12% were “completely satisfied”. In the details of the responses, strong disparities are highlighted, in particular a generational divide, between the youngest who are mostly satisfied with the results (55%) compared to only 37% of people aged 65 and over, and between the social categories poorest (66% being satisfied with the results) and the wealthiest (34%).
These disparities “stick” to the analysis of the results of the legislative elections, marked by the progress of the NUPES and the National Rally and by the loss of the absolute majority for the presidential party. Thus, supporters of the National Rally, which rose from 7 to 89 seats, are 72% to be satisfied with the results, thus expressing the most satisfaction, as are 61% of supporters of France Insoumise which is progressing – thanks to its electoral alliance – 55 seats compared to 2017, against only 32% of supporters of La République En Marche. Marginalized within the National Assembly in relation to their past “hegemony”, only 44% and 33% of Socialist sympathizers and Les Républicains say they are “satisfied” with the results.
