What happened, for context

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's approval rating fell to 57% in July 2025, its lowest level since she took office, according to a Yomiuri newspaper poll. The decline is attributed to public frustration over rising living costs and inflation, compounded by market pressures including yen weakness and higher bond yields that have delayed promised tax relief.
