As soon as Hayami Sanao made a military pledge, she was hit by opinion poll data, and it might be that she really has to resign?
On the 27th, it was the nomination day for the Japanese House of Representatives election. At the self-government party's internal meeting on the 26th, the current Japanese Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Hayami Sanao, made a military pledge in front of all factions within the party, promising that if the ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party failed to secure a majority of seats in the House of Representatives election, she would resign as the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, taking responsibility for the failure.
Hayami Sanao's willingness to make a military pledge, as well as her decision to hold an early general election, was largely due to her approval rating remaining above 70% since she took office. However, she did not expect that the latest opinion poll released by Yomiuri Shimbun on the 26th showed that her support rate had dropped to 69%.
The day before that, the Asahi Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun released opinion poll data showing that Hayami Sanao's government's approval rating had fallen below 70%, with the Mainichi Shimbun's poll showing her support rate dropping to 57%.
Japanese people's dissatisfaction with Hayami Sanao is reflected in several aspects: first, her policy of zero tax on food items is seen as unable to truly address rising prices; second, some people are dissatisfied with her early general election, believing that her actions will affect the deliberation of the new fiscal year's budget bill.
These two issues, combined with inevitable large-scale attacks from the opposition, may lead to further changes in the situation of the Japanese general election, and the possibility of Hayami Sanao finally having to leave seems to be increasing.
