However, just a month ago Hollande's approval rating was 17 points lower.
The survey was conducted on November 20-21, at least 954 people over 18 years old took part in the poll.
The Islamic State jihadist group has claimed responsibility for the November 13 coordinated mass shootings and suicide bombings near a football stadium, in a concert hall and outside several restaurants in Paris that left 130 dead and over 360 injured.
Hollande imposed a nationwide state of emergency following the attacks. The alleged ringleader of the Paris attacks, Belgium-based Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed in a police raid in Paris on Wednesday.
