NHK poll shows support for Abe's Cabinet at 38% - down 6 points on-month
  • 6 years ago
The approval rating for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet has dropped again, as he grapples with multiple scandals.
A newly-released NHK poll shows support for the cabinet at just 38 percent, dropping six points from the previous month.
Abe has been in hot water over a cover up of the Japanese military's activity logs in Iraq more than a decade ago.
Out of the 12-hundred people surveyed, two-thirds of respondents said they found the government's handling of documents problematic, while five percent said they did not.
Confidence in Abe has been fading amid the document cover-up, a cronyism scandal and his push to change Japan's post-war pacifist Constitution.
