From what I understand, this is kind of par for the course in French politics. They just really don’t like their presidents much. Macron is actually unusually popular for a second term French president.
And do you think it might be possible that the French don’t like their presidents because the governments do a poor job representing their interests. It’s not possible to claim that you have a functioning democracy when the elected representatives consistently fail to represent the majority.

I don’t know enough French people to get an accurate feel for what the population thinks.
Last time I checked people who are happy with their government don’t have massive country wide riots all the time.
