Japan Times reported that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's Cabinet has retained strong public support despite opposition questioning and a turbulent final stretch in parliament. An NHK poll conducted in July showed 58% approval, down 1 percentage point from 59% in March. A JNN survey placed approval at 65.9%, a drop of 5.9 points from 71.8% recorded earlier in the year.
The 150-day parliamentary session that began in February is scheduled to end July 17. Takaichi was in Rome on June 15 during the session. The minimal shifts occurred amid sustained opposition scrutiny, according to the Japan Times account.
