Due to the decline in the approval rating of the Suga Cabinet, there is a growing sense of crisis within the government and the ruling party, saying that the public's view of the administration remains harsh.
Opposition parties have decided to call for an early convocation of the extraordinary Diet session, saying that the government's response to the new corona is insufficient and should be discussed immediately.
In this month's NHK poll, 29% of the respondents answered that they "support" the Suga Cabinet, and the approval rating of the Cabinet has declined in various polls, including the lowest since the Cabinet was established in September last year.
Within the government and the ruling party, there are many views that the rapid spread of the new coronavirus has had an impact, and the public's view of the administration remains harsh, and a sense of crisis is spreading ahead of the House of Representatives election.
In addition, there are voices such as "It cannot be said that the holding of the Tokyo Olympics has been a plus" and "The words of Prime Minister Suga at press conferences may not have reached the public."
The government and the ruling party, in cooperation with local governments, stopped the spread of infection and prioritized vaccination among the elderly aged 65 and over, saying that the number of newly infected and severely ill people is decreasing, and to the younger generation. I would like to gain the understanding of the people by accelerating inoculation.
On the other hand, the opposition party has decided to call for an early convocation of the extraordinary Diet session, including the attendance of Prime Minister Suga, saying that the government should urgently discuss the result of the government's inadequate response to the new corona.
However, there is a view that the decline in the approval rating of the Cabinet has not led to the support of the opposition party, and the policy is to accelerate preparations for the lower house election, such as candidate adjustment.
