Some 64% of people in France are dissatisfied with the appointment of Francois Bayrou as prime minister, a poll on Thursday said, highlighting the challenges Bayrou faces to push through reforms and cut France's deficit.

The survey was conducted for Sud Radio by Ifop-Fiducial, and it polled 1,000 people over Dec. 17 and Dec. 18.

The poll said that 67% of those surveyed felt Bayrou's government would soon face no-confidence motions - similar to the one that felled Michel Barnier's government.
