Chirac won the presidential election in 1995, and was re-elected in a run-off over Jean-Marie Le Pen in May 2002. Following a defeat in last May’s referendum on the European Constitution, Chirac named Dominique de Villepin as the country’s new prime minister. 43 per cent of respondents express confidence in de Villepin, down two points in a month

Call him "Chiracarter". All this malaise is bad news and very un-French. Can't heat your home? Just stand around a burning car and warm yourself!

Polls don't mean a lot.

I am not going to salivate over polls this way than I would want the Lefties to salivate over Bush's artificially low numbers (pushed down by the MSM).

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving worthless SOB. Our MSM goes freaky when Bush poll numbers are driven down to around 40 (entirely an artifice of the biased MSM pouring their dishonest stories down people's throats year after year). Chirac is at 21..... will the NY Times proclaim that his administration has failed miserably and should be removed??

I see that this poll is in Le Figaro. Is this paper usually supportive of Chirac? If so, then this would be very interesting.

We can hope and dream. Next, there has to be a turn against De Villepin; he is as big a crapweasel as Chirac.
