Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's Cabinet approval rating is back in positive territory for the first time in seven months.
The Friday through Sunday nationwide poll conducted by The Yomiuri Shimbun showed support at 47% and disapproval at 37%.
Saturday's attack on Kishida during a campaign stop in Wakayama may have had an impact on the rise in the Cabinet's approval rating. The support rate was in the low 40% range before the incident but afterward rose to almost 50%.
