"Leaked" LDP poll from 10/7-10/9. LDP polls usually underestimate LDP as to lower expectations so one should view this poll as a floor for LDP
LDP 239
KP 34
NPD 1
JRP 25
HP 100
CDP 29
SDP 2
JCP 22
Ind 13 (most likely something like 3 pro-LDP 10 anti-LDP )
Looks like the surprise here is how strong JRP is. 25 seats for JRP means they will sweep Osaka or get to around 10% of the PR vote. Either one would be a victory for JRP.
Is there any chance this is being "leaked" to prop up JRP? A three way split in the opposition could be even more advantageous than a two way split.
