Distrust Shown in Japanese PM's Ability to Handle Crisis

Over 60 percent of the respondents negatively estimated the countermeasures taken by the prime minister to bring the situation at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant under control, according to the results of the opinion poll recently conducted by the Kyodo News Service among its bureaus across the country.
