Japan Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's cabinet approval rating has risen by 17 percentage points to 39%, according to a Yomiuri poll. This marks a recovery to the 30% range for the first time in six months following a previous electoral setback. A Mainichi poll found that 43% of respondents believe Ishiba should not resign, while 39% think he should. Support for Ishiba's continuation is particularly strong among older voters and members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), with 65% of LDP supporters opposing his resignation. However, younger voters are more inclined toward calls for his resignation. Ishiba's recent message marking 80 years since the end of World War II received approval from about 80% of LDP supporters, the highest among major political parties, despite concerns within conservative circles about potential renewed tensions with neighboring countries over historical issues. These polls indicate a clear divide in public opinion by age and political affiliation regarding Ishiba's leadership and policies.
