A poll on Sunday showed the popularity of French President Francois Hollande (pictured) has fallen to the lowest level since he was elected last May, taking his rating below that of far-right leader Marine Le Pen for the first time.
Only 31 percent are satisfied with Hollande's performance, eight points less than last month, as the Socialist president battles unemployment at a 13-year high and a stagnant economy.
Hollande had started his presidency with a 59 percent approval rating.
Since then, he has been struggling with a promise to halt a rise in unemployment.
Hecklers on a tour to eastern France last week shouted: "What happened to the promises?" and "We've been waiting six months for a change!"
