TOKYO -- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's new cabinet enjoys approval from 61% of the public, the latest Nikkei poll finds, largely unchanged from October despite the public's opposition to his costly cash handout plan.
The previous survey showed Kishida's last cabinet garnering 59% support from respondents. Kishida inaugurated his new cabinet Wednesday after winning a solid mandate in last week's lower house parliamentary election. The current cabinet received 27% disapproval in this poll.
