Paris
EMMANUEL Macron's poll numbers have been tumbling all summer. But it may not be enough to throw France's 39-year-old president off track just yet. He still has a solid majority in the National Assembly, and does not even face local elections for several years. Meanwhile, the economy is recovering, the unions are divided and his parliamentary opposition is in tatters.
That is still a solid platform for Mr Macron's plans to remake France and the euro area over the next five years. He was due to outline some of his ideas on a state visit to Greece on Thursday in a speech on the Pnyx, a hill opposite the Acropolis which was the heart of ancient Athenian democracy.
