A recent poll conducted for the local radio channel Europe 1 showed that 64 percent of those surveyed have "no confidence" in the new government.

Yet in front of a skeptical public, Sarkozy and Fillon showed strong solidarity, pledging "consistency and continuity" to secure "stability and solidity," and vowing to make sure the new government stays on track to reach the goals they had outlined before.
