A: Yo, Kenji! Got a minute? Heard about the new poll for our PM, Takaichi Sanae?
B: Not yet, Ayumi. What's up?
A: Well, her cabinet approval rate dropped by two points to 64%, and disapproval rose by four points to 19%.
B: Hmm, what was the poll about this time?
A: It asked about our government's response to China's reaction over Takaichi's comments about Taiwan. About twenty percent highly approve, forty-one percent somewhat approve, and eighteen percent don't approve much.
B: Wow, that's quite a mixed bag of opinions. What did they ask next?
A: They asked about our concerns regarding China's impact on the economy. Fourteen percent showed great concern, forty percent were somewhat concerned, but twenty-seven percent weren't all that concerned. Twelve percent said they weren't concerned at all.
B: That's interesting... And what else did they ask?
A: They also asked about the proposed Lower House seat reduction by ten percent. Forty-five percent want it to happen quickly, thirty-five percent think it should be discussed carefully, and eleven percent don't think there should be any reductions at all.
B: Seems like people have strong feelings on that one! Thanks for filling me in, Ayumi!
