Japan News Network (JNN) digital media affiliate TBS News DIG and JX News Agency jointly conducted an online survey from October 26 to 27, asking the public whether they believed that “Japan also needs politicians who can make decisive decisions with strong leadership like President Trump.” 52.6% of the respondents agreed.

It is worth noting that although respondents believe that Japan needs strong politicians, they are not sure about Trump’s performance in the second term, accounting for 41.1% of the total respondents.

In terms of age group, 63.3% of respondents over the age of 30 and 60.7% of respondents over the age of 40 believed that Japan needs strong politicians. The proportion of respondents in their 70s was 41.6%, which was lower than other age groups.
On the other hand, the degree of identification with the Trump administration shows a trend that the younger the age, the greater the degree of identification. Only 10.8% of respondents in the 70s agreed with the Trump administration’s policies and political style; In comparison, 42.5% of youth aged 18 to 29 agreed.
The survey results show that Japanese people’s expectations for “strong leadership” are not consistent with their assessment of Trump’s own governing performance.

Based on the latest population estimate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, the age and gender ratio of the respondents was as close as possible to the overall population structure. A total of 3,544 valid responses were received.
However, the survey unit also reminded that online surveys are easier to attract people who are interested in the issue to participate, so the results may not fully reflect the opinions of all Japanese voters.
This poll has been released at a time when the ongoing midterm elections in the United States are also attracting attention. According to reports from CNN and NBC, the Democratic Party has confirmed that it has won more than half of the seats in the federal House of Representatives elections, regaining control of the House of Representatives after four years.
With the Democrats taking back the House of Representatives, the majority situation held by the Republicans in both houses of Congress will also change. Trump may face greater challenges in promoting policies and negotiating with Congress during the remaining two years of his term.
US midterm elections have always been considered an important indicator of voters’ evaluation of presidential policies. The results of this election have also drawn attention to the next policy direction of the Trump administration.
