A survey conducted by the Japanese media outlet Jiji Press from June 7 to 10 shows that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's cabinet approval rating has dropped by 2.3 percentage points from May to 16.4%, hitting a new low since the Liberal Democratic Party returned to power in 2012. The drop is attributed to the influence of the LDP faction's 'small treasury' scandal, despite Kishida's efforts to address it by amending political funding regulations. The disapproval rate for Kishida's cabinet has risen to 57%, with 26.7% of respondents remaining undecided. Reasons for not supporting the cabinet include lack of expectations, ineffective policies, and distrust in the prime minister. The LDP's approval rate is at 16.4%, while the main opposition party Constitutional Democratic Party is at 4.4%. Other parties polled are below 2%, and 66.8% of respondents have no party preference.
