PARIS (Reuters) – French President Francois Hollande saw his approval ratings fall to their lowest level so far in a monthly poll that showed less than a quarter of voters were satisfied with his actions.
In a survey by pollster IFOP published in weekly paper Le Journal du Dimanche, Hollande’s approval ratings dropped 5 points from last month to 23 percent.

Word of advice to the US and France. Don’t elect socialists.
At least 75% realize they elected an idiot. Does America still have that 47%?
O h yes, freeloaders and idiots.
We don’t have a choice in france as in europe. They are all socialists. Hollande is a left wing socialist and a complete numpty. He keeps raising taxing in the belief that he will be able to spend more. He hasn’t yet worked out that tax increases take money out of the economy and an economy that is already failing. He creamed us all in his first budget and now he wants to do some more. Just like Barry!!
My french neighbours have a quaint sayinghelp an arab and he’ll stab you in the back. Leave them to kill themselves.
I was born in Chateauroux France, before De Gaulle kicked the US military out. We still have friends there, and they long for the days when their greatest allies were neighbors. One family owned a textile company that had been in their family for hundreds of years, they employed many in their village and elsewhere around the country. When the socialists took over, they snatched the business away, and in a matter of a few years ran it out of business. Now they rely on the socialists for everything, and fear everything, especially the future.
Recently the French Parliament voted a law that will guarantee residential rents with state money, financed by a tax on this rents. If you dont pay, the state will pay for you. The law is enacted, but nothing is planned yet to organise how the state will redeem his money for bad payers.
Minister of Justice Taubira decided that prison isn’t the solution to fight criminality, so most of criminals condamned for 2 years or less are proposed alternatives sentences, such as work for the community for a couple of hours, stay at home or whatever the judge could imagine. We have some examples of youngs condamned to sailing courses… It’s almost impossible for our autorities to control this sentences. Our prisons are overcrowded, and socialists suspended the building of new places enacted by the precedent governement. You have no idea of the state of our judiciary system. It’s total laxism, especially for immigrants. It’s very common to see people condamned 20, 50 or 100 times be free and commit new crimes. They get some months in prison, often applicable only after they commit another crime, and this sentences are often suspended or changed to alternatives ones such as a said before. The worst is coming, a new project is in progress. Convicts could automatically get social benefits, prisoners could be freed automatically after half of their sentences (which is already almost automatic…), and more…
French prisons are criminals paradises. They have everything you can have in your own home, TVs, microwaves ovens, games consoles… They are doing business as if they were outside, their families or friend throw them drugs or mobile phones over fences, and recently they can give them directly since nor visitors nor prisoners can be legally searched because Europe decided it was against the Human Rights. Recently a prisoner and his wife have been indicted for the rape of their 4 years old child INSIDE THE PRISON… There is plenty of crazy examples like this.
CAE (Conseil d’analyse économique / Economic Analysis Council) , under the First Minister autority, proposed to tax “fictives rents”. It’s the money you COULD get by renting out your property… So the idea is to tax fictives incomes…
I hope the United States will never fall into socialism.
Thank you for your post. Informative. My heat goes out to you and the many fine people living under these political conditions. Let it be known we care for your concerns.
Maybe he should read Catch 22, it is full of wise words. Among them this –
The enemy is anybody who’s going to get you killed, no matter which side he’s on.
Joseph Heller (1923 – 1999)
Don’t elect socialists.
Yes, good advice. And don’t drink a bottle of a strange looking liquid you found at the dump. And don’t go into an alley behind a bar with a woman who promised she’d turn tricks for free for you and her two friends.
Media-created idolatry for Obama will ensure he never falls below 40% approval rating. We could have an economic meltdown and a terrorist attack by Islamic radicals in the same week before a monthly issued approval rating poll and that presidential approval poll will have him with 44%, up from 43% the month prior.
At least in France the people actually are displeased with the idiots they vote into office. With Obama and his media cohorts he could start the fire which burned down the house, put gasoline on it, and the media would spin it as Obama was the only one valiant enough to stay and try to put the fire out.
