Takaichi Cabinet Approval Falls 10 Points to 58% as Independent Disapproval Tops 50%

Summary
58% of respondents backed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's cabinet in the latest Nikkei-TV Tokyo poll, down 10 percentage points from a month earlier.
Independent voters drove the slide: disapproval in that group rose above 50%, pushing overall support below 60% for the first time since Takaichi took office last October.
The drop marks a notable weakening in public backing less than a year into her premiership, leaving the cabinet with a still-majority but clearly reduced approval cushion.
