Ifop for TF1, LCI and Le Figaro polled French people on their perception of Bruno Retailleau, President of the French Republican Party and presidential candidate. A mixed picture emerges: the most frequently cited positive attributes are « serious » (58%), « hard-working » (57%), « dynamic » (50%), « endowed with natural authority » (50%) and « courageous » (48%). Negative traits, however, are also present: « opportunistic » (58%), « arrogant » (47%), « intolerant » (44%) and « aggressive » (40%).nnIn terms of political image, two perceptions coexist: Bruno Retailleau is primarily associated with the idea of « defending traditional values » (54%). But he also retains – as Frédéric Dabi points out – the image deficits traditionally associated with right-wing candidates since Nicolas Sarkozy’s candidacy, rather than with him in particular. On sovereign issues, the perception of « ability » is higher: he is judged « capable of reducing illegal immigration » (46%), « competent » (46%) and « capable of ensuring French security » (45%).nn31% of French people consider Bruno Retailleau to have the makings of a President of the Republic, 7% of them completely, while 69% do not share this opinion. There are clear differences according to partisan proximity, with 76% of LR supporters in favor, compared with 12% of LFI supporters, 23% of PS supporters, 28% of ecologists, 33% of Renaissance supporters and 36% of RN supporters.
