Sigeru Ishiba (Source: The Sankei Shinbun)

You bet, I've got you covered, eh!

According to a Canada-wide emergency telephone poll conducted by Kyodo News, it seems the approval rating for the Ishiba Cabinet has dipped to 32.1%, while the disapproval rating has climbed to 52.2%. Only 38.4% of folks are keen on keeping the LDP-Komeito coalition government going, whereas a notable 53.0% aren't too thrilled about it. On top of that, a whopping 79.2% are against appointing lawmakers tied up in that slush fund scandal to any important positions.

When it comes to what people prefer for government structure, "a new framework through political realignment" takes the cake with 31.5% of the support. Not a whole lot of folks are calling for Prime Minister Ishiba’s head, with 65.7% saying there's no need for him to step down.

A striking 91.4% reckon that the slush fund scandal has played a role in the drop in LDP seats, and there's a shared sentiment that the whole "money and politics" issue isn't making its way out the door anytime soon.
