fter the parliamentary elections of 2022, and even more so those of 2024, France's political parties now wield more power than at any point since the early days of the Fifth Republic. Yet only 10% of French people say they trust them, the lowest level among 20 political institutions tested, 58 points behind mayors and eight points lower than in 2022.

But the 13th edition of the "French Fractures" survey goes into more detail than the abstract category of "political parties." It measures how each major party is perceived and supported, providing a detailed snapshot of France's partisan landscape 500 days ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The comparison with identical data collected five years ago, at the same point before the 2022 vote, makes the perspective even clearer.
