PARIS (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande saw his popularity ratings jump five points in a month to a still lacklustre 25 percent in a poll released on Friday, with pro-reform ministers in his Socialist government also gaining.

The Dec 17-18 survey by pollster BVA still left him the least popular president in its records but was nonetheless his best score since his party was trounced in European and local elections in the first half of 2014 as voters punished him for tax rises and a failure to combat rising unemployment.
