Emmanuel Macron's popularity has reached an all-time low as less than one in five back the French President.
Mr Macron's approval rating has dropped to just 17 per cent, the lowest in his two terms, according to French polling company Ifop's survey.
The French President has come under pressure in recent weeks with several anti-austerity strikes and labour marches, which brought in hundreds of thousands of protesters.
Railway workers, hospital staff, and teachers were among the biggest groups that protested against the Government's plans to cut public spending as it tries to reduce its national debt.
Unions have also demanded higher taxes on the wealthy and a reversal of budget cuts.
General director of Ifop, Frederic Dabi, said: "A majority of French people are resistant, lost and will not return."
Mr Macron's popularity has fallen by 14 points among respondents who voted for him in both 2017 and 2022.
A small boost for the French President will be his appointment of new Prime Minister, Sebastien Lecornu, who scored significantly higher than anticipated with a 42 per cent approval rating.

Mr Macron appointed Mr Lecornu after former Prime Minister Francois Bayrou lost a confidence vote, leading to his resignation.
Mr Lecornu has remained loyal to the French President and is the sixth Prime Minister since 2022.
Despite proving unpopular in his own nation, Mr Macron has proved to be a protagonist among Western leaders in the recognition of Palestinian statehood, with France becoming the first G7 nation to make the commitment.
The UK followed suit yesterday, alongside Canada, Australia and Portugal.

He told CBS: "If we want peace and security for all in the region, we have to preserve the condition of a political perspective for everybody.
"Recognising the Palestinian state today is the only way to provide a political solution to a situation which has to stop."
The US has been openly opposed to the recognition of Palestine, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling France's recognition a "reckless decision".

| PAMr Macron defended his decision, saying: "Hamas is just obsessed by destroying Israel, but I recognise the legitimacy of so many Palestinian people who want a state, who are a people.
"They want a nation, they want a state, and we should not push them toward Hamas. If we don't offer them a political perspective and such a recognition, the unique answer will be security, and they will be completely trapped by Hamas."
The French President will formally recognise Palestine as a state today at the UN General Assembly in New York.
Over the weekend, he issued a message to the French Jewish population, the largest in Western Europe.
He wrote on X: "I know how worried French Jews are. Anxiety, loneliness, fear: this week again, they told me how much their lives have changed since October 7 [2023].
"I have asked the Minister of Justice to instruct prosecutors to further improve the justice system's response to anti-semitism and its new forms... In the face of hatred, the republic will always have the last word. The nation will always be mobilised."
