French President Emmanuel Macron’s approval rating has inched 1 point higher from last month, to 28 percent, according to a poll carried out by Ifop for Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper.

This marks the second monthly rise for the president, who launched a series of national debates in an effort to respond to the grievances of France’s “Yellow Vest” protesters after his popularity touched a low of 23 percent in December.
