In a poll conducted by Jiji News on the 8th and 11th, the Suga cabinet approval rate was 34.2%, down 8.9 percentage points compared to the last month’s survey.
The cause of the sharp decline in approval ratings is the opinion that dissatisfaction with the Corona 19 countermeasures is dominant. In this Mainichi poll, 71% of the Japanese government said it was “late” to the emergency declaration issued by the Japanese government in response to the spread of Corona 19.
The Suga cabinet’s countermeasures against Corona 19 were also negatively evaluated by 66%. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s approval rating also fell 5 percentage points from 33% last month to 28% this month.
According to the Mainichi Newspaper on the 17th, the Liberal Democratic Party’s executive assessed that the Suga Cabinet approval rating is “a risky level if the 30% line is broken.” As the Suga cabinet approval rating, which had been marching high in the 60-70% range at the beginning of its inauguration, plummeted to 30% in four months, the sense of crisis within the ruling party is increasing.
An experienced LDP minister, Mainichi said, citing Prime Minister Suga’s recent mistake and pointed out that “there is the public’s doubts about the Prime Minister’s leadership.”
