43.8 Pct Poised to Back Possible Takaichi Cabinet: Jiji Poll

16 Ottobre 2025

Tokyo, Oct. 16 (Jiji Press)–A Jiji Press opinion poll for October showed Thursday that 43.8 pct of respondents will support Japan’s new cabinet that would be formed by Liberal Democratic Party leader Sanae Takaichi if she becomes prime minister. The figure far outnumbered the 23.0 pct who said they will not support the possible Takaichi cabinet. Meanwhile, 33.3 pct said they do not know. Support for the possible Takaichi cabinet, the first to be led by a female prime minister in Japan, is considerably higher than the 28.0 pct approval rate marked by the current cabinet of outgoing Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in the first Jiji Press poll since its October 2024 launch and also better than the initial support of 40.3 pct recorded by the cabinet of his predecessor, former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, which was formed in October 2021.
