Jacques Chirac |
The survey published Wednesday by the CSA polling institute shows 44 percent of those questioned had confidence in the French president while 52 percent did not.
A previous poll the month before found 50 percent having confidence in Mr. Chirac and 44 percent not.
Between the two surveys Mr. Chirac appeared on French television to promote a "yes" vote in the May 29 referendum on the proposed European Union Constitution. Many commentators were critical of his performance.
