Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Cabinet approval rating has dropped to its lowest point since taking office, following the ruling coalition's election setback. Calls for his resignation are growing, though opinions are divided.
A majority supports stricter regulations on foreigners, a key election issue. The election resulted in the LDP losing control of parliament's chambers. Ishiba intends to stay in office to avoid political instability.
The Cabinet's approval and LDP support have fallen significantly. The survey showed a preference for political realignment or opposition parties joining the coalition. A political deadlock is expected without opposition support.
The Democratic Party for the People was the most popular choice for cooperation. Policies on foreigners influenced many voters. Most respondents said social media didn't significantly influence their votes.
Rising prices were the most important election issue. Support for the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and the Democratic Party for the People increased, while support for the Japan Innovation Party decreased. The Sanseito party also gained support.

The economy is tanking and he's worried about foreigners? Get your priorities straight, Ishiba!

Stricter regulations on foreigners? Seriously? This is just pandering and doesn't address the real issues!

He's ignoring the will of the people. The survey results speak volumes - people want change!

Political instability? Ishiba IS the instability! He's lost control and clinging to power.

The Democratic Party for the People (DPP) is a good choice for cooperation. Ishiba can handle cooperation!
