SUPPORT for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe slumped to record lows in three media polls over the weekend, as public trust in the premier evaporated amid a stream of scandals, while a former minister called for him to be replaced.
The Yomiuri newspaper, generally seen as supportive of Mr Abe's government, found that support for Mr Abe's cabinet had fallen 13 percentage points from a survey last month to 36 per cent. Polls conducted by NTV and the Asahi Daily found similar drops in approval.
