Japan’s Suga Yoshihide government’s approval rating has been shown to continue to plummet after the emergency declaration. Some voices say that if the ‘30% approval rating’ breaks, the Liberal Democratic Party may begin to’put down’. Reported on the 17th that as a result of conducting a telephone poll (1079 respondents) with the Social Research Research Center on the 16th, the Suga government’s approval rate was counted at 33%. It was down 7 percentage points from a month ago. The approval rating, which was 64% immediately after Suga’s inauguration, was cut in half in four months. On the 8th, 71% of the respondents answered that it was “too late” to the declaration of emergency that has expanded to 11 regions following the metropolitan area. In Japan, the spread of the corona has not subsided even after the announcement of the emergency, with 7014 new confirmed cases appearing a day on the 16th. While Prime Minister Suga’s approval rating continues to fall in media surveys, if it falls below 30%, there is even a warning sound that it will be difficult for Prime Minister Suga to remain in place.

It is an assessment that Prime Minister Suga did not show leadership in this process. Party lawmakers poured out strong remarks, “Isn’t the people questioning the Prime Minister’s leadership?” and “The election of the House of Representatives (to be done before October this year) will be lost unless a new Prime Minister (not Suga) is chosen.” The newspaper reported. However, other opinions within the party, such as a Liberal Democratic Party official who is close to the Prime Minister, “If you let Suga come down, the whole party will be damaged,” and an official at the Prime Minister’s Office also emphasized, “If the corona countermeasures begin to take effect, the atmosphere will change.
