The claim
2026年元日の高市内閣支持率は3.6％?
Original review summary
The 3.6% figure came from a poll on a website answered by visitors, not from a scientific public-opinion poll designed to represent Japan’s population. The review concludes that presenting that website result as the Cabinet’s approval rating for Japan as a whole is misleading.[S1]
Additional context
For comparison, the review reports that January 2026 polling by JNN found 78.1% support, while NHK reported 62% support and 21% opposition. [S1]
