Support for Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party is increasing ahead of the French legislative elections, as per a poll released on Friday.

A separate poll released on Friday revealed that Macron's approval rating dropped by six points to 26%, matching the lowest level recorded in the survey series conducted by BVA Xsight for RTL. Macron's popularity previously reached this low in April 2023 and before that in late 2018.

The IFOP-Fiducial poll for Sud Radio revealed that 38% of respondents expressed a preference for the National Rally to win, marking a two-point rise from June 10, which followed Macron's announcement of a snap election.

In a poll conducted on June 18 and 19 by IFOP, an alliance of left parties known as the New Popular Front held second place with 29% support, unchanged from previous polling. Support for Macron's party and its allies increased to 22% from 18%.

The survey of 1,500 adults indicated a margin of error of 1.5 percentage points. Notably, respondents were asked who they preferred to see win rather than whom they intended to vote for.

Earlier this month, Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called for a snap legislative election following his group's poor performance in the European Parliament elections. The first round of voting is scheduled for June 30, with the second round set for July 7.
