TOKYO (Sputnik) - The disapproval rating of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s government edged up 0.5 percentage points to 43.5% in November, exceeding approval for the third month straight, a poll out Friday found.
Only 27.7% of those sampled by Japanese pollster Jiji said they approved of the cabinet’s performance, up 0.3 points from October. The poll was conducted among 2,000 adults from November 11-14.
The survey revealed that more than a third of the respondents were discontent about the measures taken to offset the soaring electricity and gas prices, while 33.5% said they supported the economic package.
