President Trump has recognized the decline in his endorsement ratings. This comes amidst several decisions that have resulted in both local and global criticism. Japanese citizens, being significant stakeholders in US-Japan relations, have responded to these developments through opinion polls and surveys. The news sheds light on the mounting challenges faced by the Trump administration, domestically and internationally.

The opinion of the Japanese public about the US presidency matters greatly due to the close economic and defense ties between the two nations. Japanese citizens are particularly attentive to US policies, their domestic impact and the global implications, especially those that directly affect Japan or its foreign relations.

While opinion polls and approval ratings similarly dictate the public’s sentiment towards the presidency in the US, the factor that sets Japan apart is its deeper ties to US policy decisions. For example, any changes to trade, defense, or environmental policy in the US can lead to drastic changes in Japan.
