According to a survey published in Le Journal du Dimanche, 86 per cent of French people do not feel that the image of President Nicolas Sarkozy has changed since his romance with model–singer Carla Bruni became public. Eleven per cent believe his image has deteriorated, while three per cent believe it has improved.
   Eighty-nine per cent believe that the President’s romance is private and no concern of the public; the remainder believe the affair is a public matter.
   The poll had a sample of 964 eligible people aged 18 and over, and interviewed people between December 20 and 21 (not October 18 and 19 as reported by AP).
