The Mainichi Shimbun newspaper announced the results of a nationwide opinion poll conducted by the newspaper and the Social Survey Research Center on the 23rd and 24th. According to the results, the approval rating has dropped by 15 points to 31% compared to the previous poll conducted on October 3rd. The disapproval rating has risen by 13 points from the previous poll (37%) to 50%. This means that the disapproval rating has exceeded the approval rating in less than two months since the Cabinet was formed on October 1st. Meanwhile, the approval rating of the Democratic Party for the People, which is continuing negotiations with the LDP to raise the annual income threshold from 1.03 million yen to 1.78 million yen, has risen sharply from the previous poll's 3% to 13%. The CDP is at 12%, so the approval rating is almost on par with or surpassing that of the CDP. When the Mainichi Shimbun asked about raising the annual income threshold, 59% were in favor, far exceeding the 14% who were against. There was a scandal involving Representative Yuichiro Tamaki, but as far as the data is concerned, it does not seem to have had any impact on the party's strength. Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru's diplomatic stance is still terrible, and some people seem to have a harsh view of him. According to Shukan Bunshun, he left the welcoming ceremony after finishing the second of the five-course gala dinner, and in the elevator of his lodgings, when his secretary said, "We've prepared some rice balls for you if you like," he refused, and replied, "More than eating, I want to sleep. I want to go to bed early. It's been a long time since I've been able to sleep this much." During the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting, when Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to greet him, he stretched out his hand while sitting and shook hands with them. This was despite the fact that other leaders were constantly greeting each other, fiddling with their smartphones and flipping through documents. Also, a photo of him stuffing his face with rice balls was published in a Chinese newspaper, where he was ridiculed, and he greeted Chinese President Xi Jinping with both hands as if wrapping his arms around him, but then he had his arms folded at a ceremony, and at the same time that he was being photographed, he was visiting the grave of former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori... Everything he does is a parade of unbelievable behavior. Who chose such a person as prime minister? It seems that the majority of people answered that "Prime Minister Ishiba does not need to resign," but I hope that he will resign as soon as possible.
