Japan PM Takaichi’s Approval Rating Slides as Inflation Bites, Yomiuri Poll Shows Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's approval rating has dropped to 57% in July, according to a recent poll by the Yomiuri newspaper.
This represents the lowest level since she took office and reflects growing discontent with her administration.
The proposed cut to Japan's 8% food sales tax, a key campaign promise aimed at easing consumer burdens, has been delayed due to market pressures and internal opposition within Takaichi's own party.
