French President Hollande's approval rating stable, poll shows

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande's approval rating remained unchanged following a news conference to announce economic reforms and after reports of an affair with actress Julie Gayet put his private life in the spotlight, a poll showed.

Twenty-two percent of those interviewed were satisfied with Hollande as president, unchanged from a month earlier, according to the Ifop poll carried out for Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper by phone between January 10 and January 18.
