Main source of Cabinet's continued strength? Abe's as ever ridiculously high TINA number: 49.8% of those who say they support the Cabinet say they do so because they cannot think of an alternative to Abe. 2/

The Abe Paradox is also alive as well.

49% of polled say they support the Abe Cabinet
but
58% oppose the Mideast MSDF dispatch
70.6% think the IR plan has to be rethought and
86.4% think the PM has failed to properly explain the Sakura o Miru Kai situation
Just how this works, that a Cabinet is more popular than ANY of its policies, has never been adequately explained.
