Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's recent overseas tour did not boost his support back home, as a recent Yomiuri Shimbun poll found the approval rating for his Cabinet to be unchanged from the previous survey conducted late last year.
The approval rating for the Kishida Cabinet was 39% in a national survey conducted by the Yomiuri on Friday through Sunday, the same level as in the poll conducted on Dec. 2-4. The disapproval rating was 47%, down from 52% in the last survey.
