On April 4, local time, it has been half a year since Japan's 101st Prime Minister Fumio Kishida took office. The latest opinion poll by Japan News Network showed that the approval rate of Kishida's cabinet was 59.1%, the same level as when Fumio Kishida was just elected.

Those who supported Kishida's cabinet in the poll rose 2.2 percentage points from last month's poll to 59.1 percent.
On the other hand, those who do not support dropped by 1.2 percentage points to 37.2%.
Former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's approval rating dropped sharply after taking office half a year ago due to the "new crown epidemic", while Kishida's cabinet remained at the same level.
As of now, 58% of people said they "agree" and 32% said they "disagree" with the government's response to the new crown epidemic.
About 50% of the public "considered it necessary" to receive the fourth dose of the vaccine.
