Most French approve of Carla

Two-thirds of French people are satisfied with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy’s performance as the country’s First Lady.

Two-thirds of French people are satisfied with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy’s performance as the country’s First Lady, according to a poll carried out by Sunday newspaper Journal du Dimanche.

The majority also feel that the former supermodel’s ongoing singing career is entirely compatible with her role as president’s wife.

Her husband Nicolas Sarkozy is also gaining some ground after his popularity fell to an all time low last month, one year after taking control of the Elysée.

Only 35% of those questioned were unhappy with her role as First Lady, while 42% said they did not feel her role as pop star was incompatible with her status.

Two thirds of those questioned for the poll felt she had done well while accompanying her husband on foreign trips to Tunisia and a state visit to the UK.

Just over half of the 1,005 polled feel she has a good influence on the president.

Carla Bruni will release her third album on July 21, which has 14 songs (including a love-song entitled "My Addiction") which she composed herself.
