[SSJ: 6705] Re: A Defeat or a Victory for Kan?

From: Fred Uleman
Date: 2011/06/07

There was an interesting public opinion poll reported yesterday (at
)
saying, for example, 60% of the people see no need for Kan to resign soon 65% think badly of the LDP-Komei no-confidence motion 89% think badly of the way Ozawa and friends acted Asked who should be PM, Kan was the leading name at 7.1% while 71.2% said "none of the above" to a long list of possible names (Tanigaki was at 1.5%, Ozawa at 1.7%) 70% are unhappy with the way the Administration has handled the disaster aftermath

Nobody is happy with the situation as it is, but nobody is happy with the alternatives, either.
