TOKYO -- Support for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's cabinet has recovered to 46%, but independent voters remain deeply dissatisfied, a new opinion survey shows, suggesting that the erosion in his popularity triggered by a spate of scandals may not have run its course.
The figure represents a 4-point improvement from a survey earlier this month, while disapproval declined 3 points -- also to 46%. The latest poll was conducted Friday through Sunday.
