Emmanuel Macron's popularity in France has plunged to an all-time low, according to new polling data.
The embattled president's approval rating has fallen to 17%, the lowest it has been since taking office in 2017.
The results of the Ifop survey conducted for French weekly Le Journal du Dimanche came after nearly one million workers and anti-austerity marchers took to the streets to protest Macron's handling of France's economy.
As the country endured outbursts of carnage and violence, images from the streets of the capital last Thursday showed major clashes breaking out between cops and rioters.
Protesters set fire to wooden pallets outside the city's main train station, the Gare du Nord, while officers battled crowds of demonstrators in billowing clouds of tear gas smoke.
