However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assemblee-nationale.fr\/dyn\/17\/rapports\/ceelec\/l17b1479_rapport-enquete#_Toc256000314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report from a parliamentary investigative committee<\/a> revealed that the government had commissioned a poll the day after the interview testing the public\u2019s response to a possible Macron candidacy in 2032. Such polls are not commissioned by the presidency but the results are forwarded to the Elys\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>Macron\u2019s approval rating currently stands close to an all-time low, according to a tracker from pollster Elabe, with just 22 percent of French voters surveyed saying they trust the president to lead the country.<\/p>\n<p>The French president is also under growing pressure to prove he isn\u2019t a lame duck. His influence over domestic politics has waned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/france-emmanuel-macron-power-snap-election-marine-le-pen-national-rally-eu-jordan-bardella-francois-bayrou-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">since his decision to call snap elections last summer<\/a>, which resulted in his coalition losing control of parliament and ushering in a year of political gridlock in France.<\/p>\n<p>With the countdown to the next presidential election gradually beginning, presidential hopefuls within Macron\u2019s own camp are starting to position themselves. Just minutes before Macron\u2019s speech. former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who now leads the president\u2019s party, Renaissance, strongly hinted he would run for president in 2027. <\/p>\n<p>But Macron expressed frustration over all the speculation regarding the next presidential contest. He warned against \u201cspending the next two years talking about 2027\u201d rather than finding ways to address France\u2019s challenges immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The French president has remained vague about his future plans.
