I had the headline a few minutes ago, here: Nikkei reports: Abe Cabinet public approval rises 11 points to 60%
More details now from the Nikkei:
- The approval rating of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s cabinet surged to 60% in the latest Nikkei poll
- Reflecting favorable views among women and independent voters who liked Wednesday’s lineup change
- Public support for the cabinet rose 11 percentage points from the previous survey conducted in late August
- The disapproval rating declined 10 points to 26%
- Support for the government among women had been eroding, and the cabinet revamp appears to have reversed the trend, at least for now
