The disapproval rate for the Cabinet of Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori is at 62 percent, a record high for a newly launched Cabinet, with support at 27 percent, a Kyodo News poll showed Thursday.
The nationwide telephone survey of 1,000 people was undertaken Wednesday, the day after the new Cabinet was launched.
Only 27 percent of the respondents said they support continuation of the coalition -- the Liberal Democratic Party, New Komeito and New Conservative Party. On the other hand, 65 percent said they are against the idea.
