Respondents in a recent Yomiuri survey gave Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his predecessor Yoshihide Suga a score of about five out of ten for their COVID-19 pandemic response, while Shinzo Abe, who led the party before Suga, was given a score of less than four out of ten.
Respondents were asked to give the three party leaders who have steered administrations in the past two years scores on a scale of zero to ten for their pandemic response.
