What happened, for context

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's approval rating fell to 57% in a Yomiuri newspaper poll conducted July 24–26, down from 69% in June and the first time below 60% since she took office. The decline reflects public frustration over rising living costs and inflation, compounded by market pressures including yen weakness and elevated bond yields stemming from her expansionary fiscal and monetary policies.
