"50.7% support of the Ishiba Cabinet"...It's lower than Suga and Kishida.

do not support', while the remaining 20.4% said they did not know or did not respond.

The Cabinet approval rating is significantly higher than the survey of 26.1% in August under former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

However, it is lower than the survey conducted by Kyodo News in October 2021, at the beginning of the Kishida Cabinet, and in September 2020, at the beginning of the Yoshihide Suga Cabinet, 55.7%.

However, Kyodo News explained that it is difficult to make simple comparisons because the investigation methods are not the same.

Among the new cabinet's priorities, 55.9% of respondents cited economic, employment and price measures, followed by pension and social security at 29.4% and childcare and low birth rates at 22.7%.
