According to a recent JNN survey, approximately 63% of Japanese citizens have not publically expressed a preference ahead of a leadership election that has been brought forward. The lack of a clear public opinion ahead of such an important political event creates a climate of uncertainty and anticipation. The public's reaction to the unexpected move of advancing the election date is yet to be fully assessed.

In Japan, political stability is highly valued, and sudden changes such as a preponed election can cause a stir. Public opinion polls like this one conducted by JNN play a significant role in shaping the political discourse. It's important to note, however, that Japan has a culture of reticence about publicly expressing political views, which may explain the high percentage of undecided respondents.

Similar to the US and EU, pre-election periods in Japan are filled with surveys and discussions to gauge public opinion. However, unlike these regions, Japan has a lower tendency of public political confrontation, and private voting decisions remain highly respected.
