On July 15, TV Asahi’s “Hodo Station” covered the status of the Upper House election, predicting Sanseitō could gain around 15 seats based on a late-stage survey by Asahi Shimbun and ANN’s polls. This represents a significant leap from its previous single seat, sparking discussions online with users expressing surprise and disbelief at the prospect of such success.
Commentators noted this election carries the potential to alter the shape of the government, emphasizing the difficulty of discerning reliable information amid the flood of social media posts and advising careful evaluation of sources.
Fuji TV also reported on July 14 based on FNN surveys, suggesting Sanseitō might achieve double-digit growth. However, both reports highlighted the large number of undecided respondents, indicating the situation could still shift as the election approaches.
