Suga Yoshii’s Cabinet approval rating is also reported to have plummeted in opinion polls by each outlet, and the Cabinet-sponsored Go To campaign was criticized by the ruling party.
Many people have said that they will not evaluate measures against infection by the new corona virus, and it appears that the approval rating is decreasing. What kind of country should the Kan administration run?
-
Prime Minister Yoshii Suga attended the meeting for the first time in two and a half months (photographed December 4)
A level of around 50-60%, which is about 10 points lower than the previous month.
“Why are you reading only the manuscript below?” “I can’t feel the energy in my eyes and the enthusiasm for the way I speak.” “This is not the case when the Diet is closed.”
On December 4, 2020, when the extraordinary parliament came to the end of its session, Prime Minister Kan held an evening press conference for the first time since he took office on September 16. However, such a harsh opinion gained support in the comment section of the network news that broadcast the content of the interview, saying that no drastic measures against the infection were seen.
Before and after taking office, Prime Minister Kan announced policies such as reducing mobile phone charges and applying insurance to fertility treatments, and at the meeting on day 4, he said: “Green and digital they are the axes of post-crown growth. ” He also announced a “decarbonization” policy to reduce the effective amount of gas to zero in 30 years. On the night of the 8th, the cabinet decided on additional economic measures of 73 trillion yen, including these.
On the other hand, as a measure against the crown, it was decided to promote the shortening of restaurant business hours, but as for Go To Travel, although it asked to refrain from using older people, it did not recognize a causal relationship with the spread of the infection and decided to extend the campaign. did. As the number of seriously ill people increases, the medical system becomes stricter, and in Osaka and Hokkaido, even the dispatch of the Self-Defense Forces is requested, and it seems that dissatisfaction is increasing online.
Reflecting these voices, opinion polls conducted by the media in early December showed that the Cabinet approval rating has fallen across the board. As for the Yomiuri Shimbun and Kyodo News results, it remains at a level of around 50-60%, which is about 10 points lower than the previous month.
“There is the possibility of an early resignation, and if he loses in the election, the theory of resignation will increase.”
Why did the Kan administration cause approval ratings to plummet just three months after its inauguration?
Harumi Arima, a political commentator, gave this opinion to J-CAST News.
“At the end of the Shinzo Abe administration, the approval rating fell below 50%, and when Suga became prime minister, it increased by about 20 points. That was because Abe was a politician from the seizure and raised advertising balloons like Abenomics. On the other hand, Mr. Suga supported Mr. Abe in practice as a start-up, so I think he was expecting what he would do, however, as the president of the United States, in 100 days. honeymoon. If you don’t see concrete results, you will be told what you are doing. “
If the Go To campaign had been canceled, the spread of the infection might have decreased, but I think it was difficult because he relied on Secretary General Toshihiro Nikai, who is working with him, to make adjustments within the PLD.
The approval rating is said to drop steadily as it is, and if the party’s voice is raised that Prime Minister Kan cannot fight in the election, it cannot be said that there is a possibility of an early resignation. At least if he loses in the election, the resignation theory will increase.
“I think you need to find a policy that is appreciated to be in a long-term administration. Consider spending money and increase your salary so that the nurses who have left the hospital come back. The SDF nurses must have had nurses trained with anticipation because in case of disaster they will be needed, the future vision of this country will be clarified and revenue will be paid. I think we have to improve our ability to communicate as prime minister, for example, by launching a policy to make the economy increase by 30,000 yen per month. “
