This statistic shows the breakdown of public opinion on the "Gilets jaunes" movement in France in successive survey phases in November and December 2018 and in January, February, March, and April 2019. The survey reveals that the percentage of respondents declaring they supported the movement decreased from ** percent on November 6th to ** percent in March 2019.

The Yellow Vests movement (called "Gilets jaunes" in French) is a protest movement that began with a petition posted on social networks regarding rising fuel prices. Their first action took place on Saturday, 17 November 2018, with "yellow vests" blocking roads and creating traffic jams across the country. Since then, the movement has shown great motivation and the dispute is now expanding to other issues regarding the purchasing power of the middle class, frustration with the high cost of living and the perception that the French government was passing a important amount of the austerity bill and ecology bill on the working and middle classes. The protests, which have occurred since mid-November every Saturday, have raised tensions and turned violent, especially in Paris. 

Most protesters are living in rural and peri-urban areas. They are impacted by the rise of Diesel prices, which have increased by ** percent in 2018. The movement is not related to any political party or trade union but is supported by French public opinion.
