Disapproval in the October 12-13 poll was 36.7 percent.<br \/>\nA separate weekend survey by the liberal-leaning Asahi Shimbun newspaper found public support for Ishiba\u2019s cabinet at 33 percent, below 39 percent who disapproved.<br \/>\nThose results are worse than Kishida faced in 2021 ahead of his first general election as premier: 42 percent approval against 31 percent disapproval, the Asahi said.<br \/>\nThe daily said its polls indicated that the LDP and its junior coalition partner Komeito ran the risk of losing a majority in the upcoming vote.<br \/>\nJiji Press said its polls and reporting showed the coalition was likely to retain its majority, although the LDP may not pass the threshold on its own \u2014 a possibility reflected in several previous polls by other outlets.<br \/>\nThe conservative LDP and Komeito, a moderate party backed by a Buddhist-linked group, have been in power since 2012 when late former premier Shinzo Abe won a landslide victory.<br \/>\n\u201cRegardless of whether or not we lose our majority, we should hold positive talks with parties that are trying to develop the country with the same policies,\u201d the LDP\u2019s secretary general Hiroshi Moriyama said in a political debate program aired by public broadcaster NHK on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former defense minister Ishiba took office this month after being voted leader of the Liberal Democratic Party TOKYO: Approval ratings for Japan\u2019s new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba have fallen ahead of an October 27 general election, one weekend poll showed, with another survey suggesting the ruling coalition could struggle to secure a majority.
