This is mixing up a bunch of things. The French have been like this for a long time. They get upset with politics and always make themselves heard. That does not mean that they’re personally unhappy. For the most part, France is really nice, has amazing culture and food, things you can do.
As for the happiness statistics, consider countries Finland or Switzerland which often come out on the top of the rankings. The people don’t see themselves as particularly happy, but that’s just their mentality. They don’t sing and dance.
Making a political argument for or against some parties or individual candidates on French unhappiness is pointless because no matter who they elect, within a year or two it will end up in the same situation. The French don’t like their politicians, and they will protest and have polemic discourse.
