Survey: Japan PM support drops below 50%
The popularity of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's government has fallen to its lowest level since she took office in October, reaching 49.1%, according to a poll conducted between October 17 and 18. This decline is attributed to her slow response to the resignation of Minister of Agriculture Yana, which was prompted by widespread criticism of his comments regarding funding for municipal roads. In the survey, 57.7% of participants considered Takaichi's decision to appoint Yana to be too late, while 81.5% believed Yana's resignation was natural. Yana's resignation came after media criticism and remarks that caused discontent within Parliament.
