The logo of the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics Games is seen on the Pulse building, the headquarters of the Paris 2024 Olympics organizing committee, as a police search is currently underway, in Saint-Denis near Paris, France, June 20, 2023.
Some 44% of Paris region residents expressed a negative opinion while 65% of French residents said having the Olympics in Paris from July 26-Aug. 11 was a 'good thing', the Odoxa poll for Winamax and RTL showed.
Some 1,207 Paris region residents, and 1,005 French residents were polled.
Two years ago, only 22% of Parisians had a negative opinion of the Paris Olympics while more than half of them are now considering leaving the region for the duration of the event.
By contrast, 64% of Parisians are confident that the opening ceremony on the Seine river will be a success.
