Hollande seen as ‘bad president’ by 70% of French people
Seventy percent of French people believe outgoing Socialist leader Francois Hollande was a “bad president,” according to a new poll published.
The 62-year-old decided not to seek re-election in December.

Although 70 percent of respondents told pollster Odoxo they viewed him as a bad president, the survey of 1,001 people taken at the start of April showed parts of his legacy are seen positively. A majority (54 percent) judged his security policies and social reforms such as bringing in gay marriage favorably, but on the economy, only 16 percent approved of his approach. France goes to the polls on April 23 for the first round of a two-stage election to choose a new leader.
