The approval rating of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's cabinet has dropped by 10 percentage points to 58%, according to a recent poll conducted by Nikkei and TV Tokyo. This marks the first time her approval has fallen below 60% since she assumed office in October of the previous year. The decline indicates growing dissatisfaction among the public, particularly with independent voters, whose disapproval now exceeds 50%. The poll highlights a significant shift in public sentiment toward the current administration.
