Sanae Takaichi Cabinet's approval rating falls below 50% for the first time since taking office, Kyodo News poll finds
Published
According to the latest nationwide public opinion poll conducted by Kyodo News, the approval rating for the Sanae Takaichi Cabinet has fallen below 50% for the first time. This marks the lowest figure since the inauguration of the Takaichi administration.
This survey highlights the public's critical view regarding economic measures amid persistent price hikes and issues surrounding political funds. Many respondents indicated that they feel dissatisfied or anxious about the current government's policies.
Meanwhile, the percentage of people who answered that they "do not support" the Cabinet has increased since the previous survey. Criticism from opposition parties that the administration's response has been slow is also mounting, and attention is now focused on how this will impact future parliamentary proceedings.
Moving forward, the government plans to introduce concrete economic measures to protect the livelihoods of the public and strive to restore trust. However, whether it can halt the decline in its approval rating depends on its ability to execute policy.
Experts point out that these results are "evidence that the public is demanding greater transparency and a more rapid response from politics." It can be said that the administration is entering a very critical phase regarding its future policy decision-making.
