Support for Japan PM Ishiba Slips Before National Vote
The popularity of Japan's Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, has dropped according to a new survey.
This means fewer people approve of how he's doing his job.
The survey was taken before important elections next month, which could affect his power.
His plan to give people money to help with inflation didn't seem to win over voters.
If his party doesn't do well in the upcoming elections, he might not be able to stay in charge.
Support for Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's government has declined.
The decline in support was revealed in a recent poll.
The poll was conducted ahead of key national elections.
Ishiba's cash handout plan did not impress voters.
Poor showing in the upcoming upper house elections could weaken Ishiba's power.
