The January 2026 Ifop-Fiducial personalities scoreboard for Paris Match and Sud Radio shows a generally upward trend, but confirms a lasting climate of political mistrust. For the fourth consecutive wave since July 2025, no personality has broken the 50% threshold of good opinion. This is a sharp drop compared to January 2016, when 11 politicians still exceeded this mark.
The hierarchy at the top of the ranking has been recomposed around an unprecedented trio. Jean-Louis Borloo regains first place with 47% of good opinions (+3 points), ahead of Sébastien Lecornu (46%, +5 points), who reaches his highest level in the barometer, and Dominique de Villepin (46%, -3 points), who remains in the top three. Jordan Bardella follows at 45%, with Édouard Philippe just behind at 44%.
In the government camp, Gérald Darmanin leads the way with 42% (+2 points). Figures with the potential to structure the post-Macron era in the central bloc are also gaining ground: Édouard Philippe (44%, +3 points) and Gabriel Attal (41%, +3 points).
Tested for the first time, Brigitte Macron is in 7th position with 42% of good opinions. Her support base appears to be clearly structured around senior citizens and “common base” supporters.
On the left, François Ruffin is the only personality to make it into the top 10, with 41% of good opinions (+4 points). François Hollande, stable at 40%, drops out, while several figures fall back, notably Marine Tondelier (29%, -3 points), Clémentine Autain (29%, -3 points) and Yannick Jadot (30%, -3 points).
Finally, the bottom of the ranking remains unchanged. Emmanuel Macron remains in last place with 24% of good opinions (-1 point). He is preceded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, at 25%, who has the highest level of very poor opinions on the barometer (47%).
