Two new opinion polls show that public support for Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is declining. Voters are becoming unhappy with her focus on conservative policies instead of addressing rising living costs. Takaichi won a large election victory in February, giving her a strong mandate. However, recent surveys suggest that her political honeymoon is ending. Analysts note that the drop in support is not just a typical post-election slump. They say Takaichi used her commanding majority to push through legislation favored by the most conservative elements of her party. These controversial laws have drawn criticism. Meanwhile, many Japanese citizens are struggling with higher prices for food and energy. They expected the government to focus on economic relief. Instead, the Prime Minister prioritized conservative social and security policies. The polls indicate that voters are losing patience with this approach. Takaichi's approval ratings have fallen, though she still maintains a majority in parliament. Political observers believe her strategy may hurt her party in future elections. The Prime Minister has not yet commented on the latest poll numbers. It remains to be seen whether she will change course to address voters' concerns.
