No opposition party other than the CDPJ had a support rate above 10 percent despite the slush funds scandal undermining public trust in the LDP.

No opposition party other than the CDPJ had a support rate above 10 percent despite the slush funds scandal undermining public trust in the LDP.

Japanese need to recapture the political engagement of the 60s .

Corrected.

-1 ( +12 / -13 )

Has Kishida turned the corner? Or can the small apparent rise in fortunes be explained by the usual error percentage in the polls? Error rates are never given in polls in Japan and it creates the idea of an accuracy which isn't really there.

4 ( +6 / -2 )

In other words, we are stuck with the LDP.

-3 ( +11 / -14 )

After the political funds scandal was revealed late last year, the support rate for Kishida's cabinet, launched in October 2021, dropped below what is widely recognized as the "danger level" of 30 percent and hit an all-time low in March at 20.1 percent.

So I take it this means that the new "danger level" is 20%, since he doesn't seem to feel in any danger. How low can you go?

3 ( +4 / -1 )

Statistically, that's nonsense, especially values with decimal points. One can only say, that there might be a detectable slight upward trend under a certain confidence percentage, so that the support rate is highly probably within a certain range of about 22 to 26 percent or so.

-4 ( +2 / -6 )

You get who you vote for!

Until the Japanese get off their butts and vote these corrupt cronies out of office, nothing will change!

-3 ( +7 / -10 )

Kishi and company..

Please resign..

Kishida's cabinet support rate edges up

why?

wasting tax money and going on useless trips call for better approval?

that makes no sense at all.

The problem is that there's no political party from the opposition taking advantage of this to present alternatives to the LDP policies. There's been a change on the JCP (Finally they got rid of Shii!), but not them nor Reiwa nor the CDPJ seem to be a

The problem is that there's no political party from the opposition taking advantage of this to present alternatives to the LDP policies. There's been a change on the JCP (Finally they got rid of Shii!), but not them nor Reiwa nor the CDPJ seem to be able to take them out.

(Sorry for the double posting, I had a finger slip and pressed the post button accidentally. Maybe would be time to implement the "delete" button, Japantoday?)

3 ( +3 / -0 )

I guess when you don't do anything it's pretty easy not to mess up.

1 ( +7 / -6 )

Fantastic -- let's have a general election! But 0.242% would be more accurate IMO.

-2 ( +2 / -4 )
