Only 23.9 percent of people in Japan are in favor of holding the postponed Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next summer as scheduled and over half are dissatisfied with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's response to the novel coronavirus, a Kyodo News survey showed Sunday.
With the world engulfed by the pandemic for months, 36.4 percent of respondents to the nationwide opinion poll think the Summer Games should be postponed again and 33.7 percent say they should be canceled.
With about a year until the Olympics begin, 75.3 percent of those backing either another delay or a cancellation believe the virus cannot be contained anytime soon.
