Japanese poll: More voters favor opposition party


TOKYO (AP) — A poll published Wednesday by Japan's largest newspaper indicated that Prime Minister Taro Aso's ruling party is headed for big losses in the upcoming national election — the latest sign that a surging opposition could grab control of the country for the first time in more than a decade.
The Yomiuri Shimbun's poll showed that 45 percent of respondents think Yukio Hatoyama, the leader of the opposition Democratic Party of Japan, should lead the country, compared to 25 percent for Aso. Far more voters said they supported Hatoyama's Democrats than the ruling party.
