President Emmanuel Macron’s approval rating jumped 5 points as worries among French citizens over international crises soared, according to a poll by Ipsos-Cesi école d’ingénieurs for La Tribune Dimanche newspaper.

Support for Macron’s actions rose to 27% in March, the survey published late Saturday showed. Concerns over international crises such as in Ukraine and the Middle East was among the top three issues for 33% of respondents, up from 17% in February.

U.S. President Donald Trump has pared back support for Ukraine and has indicated that the U.S. may step back from its traditional security role in Europe. The surprise move has sent European countries scrambling to boost defense spending and rethink their military positioning.

Support for French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou fell 2 points to 25%, according to Ipsos.

Ipsos surveyed 1,000 adults online on from March 12 through March 14. The margin of error was about 2.7 points.
