According to a report by Jiji Press on July 23, various media polls showed that Japan's approval rating for Sanae Takaichi's cabinet has declined. It is widely believed that the revisions to the “Royal Family Model” and the way the ruling party operates in the National Assembly are the main reasons. According to a Jiji Press poll in July, the approval rating for the cabinet fell to 49.0%, the lowest since the current administration came to power. The “Daily News” survey also showed that the approval rating fell sharply by 10 percentage points to 41%, while the disapproval rating reached 44%, surpassing the approval rating. The ruling party reacted strongly to this and felt that the situation was serious. When pointing out the reason for the decline in approval ratings, a cabinet member said, “Mainly because of the “Royal Family Model” issue and the tough operation of the National Assembly.” A senior Liberal Democratic Party official also expressed unease: “The direction of the wind may have changed.”
