Macron's popularity edges up even as protesters persist
None
French President Emmanuel Macron's popularity ratings recovered in January, a survey showed on Tuesday, after a series of government concessions aimed at ending a wave of "yellow vest" protests against high living costs.
The demonstrations shaking France since mid-November had further dented Macron's standing at the end of last year, with his popularity dropping to record lows amid a backlash that started out as an outcry over planned fuel tax hikes.
These were dropped in early December and Macron has since offered up further measures to appease protesters, including wage rises for the poorest workers.
