Japan PM Ishiba’s Support Falls, No Ouster Seen Before July

Support for Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s government weakened, according to public opinion surveys published by major Japanese news organizations over the weekend, although it remains unlikely he’ll be ousted before a national election in July.

Polls published by the Yomiuri and Mainichi newspapers, as well as a survey from Kyodo News, showed support for Ishiba’s cabinet ranging from 22% to 31%, the lowest levels in each survey since Ishiba became national leader in October last year.
