In Hiroshima, the city devastated by the first nuclear bomb, the biopic's Academy Awards success met a mixed reaction
The survey by a Japanese research company, published by the Kyodo news agency, showed 27.8% want the games to be canceled, and 25.8% said they should be postponed again. The Olympics were originally planned for this year but were been postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Japanese organisers and the International Olympic Committee have said if the Olympics can't be held next year, they will be cancelled.
In the survey, 46.2% said they wanted the games to go ahead in some form and open on July 23, 2021.
The survey was conducted by Tokyo Shoko Research and covered 12,857 companies, Kyodo said.
Japan has heavily invested in the Olympics and is spending officially $12.6 billion, though a government audit says the number is twice that large.
Japan and Tokyo have suffered moderately from the pandemic, but new cases have been rising steadily in the last several weeks, particularly in urban areas.
Japan has reported about 1,100 deaths attributed to Covid-19.
The Japanese economy has also been hit hard by the pandemic. The government reported this week that exports plunged 19.2% in July from a year earlier.
The online survey was conducted between July 28 and Aug. 11.
