French President Emmanuel Macron succeeded in bringing opposition parties together to narrowly prevent the conservative National Rally from winning in this past summer's legislative elections.

Yet Macron's victory may prove short lived, as a new poll suggests that the majority of French citizens want him gone. 

Survey finds only 15% of voters are satisfied with Macron's performance

Commissioned by Le Monde and carried out by Ipsos between July 26 and August 1, the survey found that 51% of voters wish to see the president's resignation.

What's more, the poll also concluded that 53% of respondents are unsatisfied with Macron's leadership compared with just 15% who expressed satisfaction. Another 32% are unsure in their feelings.

As Breitbart noted, France has been in a state of "continued political chaos" since voters cast their ballots just over two months ago.

While Macron partnered with the leftist New Popular Front as part of an effort to stave off electoral gains by Marine Le Pen's National Rally, he is refusing to form a government with New Popular Front members.

This fact has left Prime Minister Gabriel Attal powerless to pass legislation and prompted calls from the far-left La France Insoumise to step down.

Marine Le Pen is threatening to introduce a no confidence motion

La France Insoumise is part of the coalition which stood against the National Rally, and it says that the push to remove Macron is necessary to "defend democracy against the president’s authoritarian leanings."

Yet as Breitbart pointed out, La France Insoumise's invocation of democratic principles is somewhat awkward given that the National Rally won the largest number of votes despite not winning a majority of seats.

Breitbart reported last week that for her part, Le Pen is threatening to introduce a no confidence motion should Macron attempt to appoint a left-wing prime minister.

Le Pen says former socialist prime minister is in charge

"The very idea that there will be a New Popular Front government without an elected Insoumise will change absolutely nothing," Le Pen was quoted as telling Le Figaro.

"In any case, it is La France Insoumise and Mélenchon who are in charge," she added, referring to La France Insoumise's leader, former socialist prime minister Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Mélenchon's preferred candidate for prime minister is socialist economist and former bureaucrat Lucie Castets, who has never held elected office.
