Takaichi's support rate falls below 50% for first time
Original: Takaichi’s support rate falls below 50%, lowest since taking office, Kyodo reports
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's approval rating has dropped below 50%, reaching its lowest level since she took office, according to a Kyodo News poll reported by The Japan Times. The decline marks a significant shift for a leader who enjoyed strong public backing early in her premiership, and political observers will be watching whether the trend continues in coming surveys.
Why now: A sitting prime minister's approval falling below 50% is a key political benchmark that signals weakening public support.
