U.S. President-elect Barack Obama won big Wednesday, and a mock poll held at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo indicates the senator is popular with young Japanese, too.
The embassy held a mock vote for non-Americans in Japan to show young Japanese how the U.S. electoral process works in a democracy.
The event, held together with U.S. consulates across the country, was probably the first-ever held by the embassy, although it has taken place in other countries, embassy officials said.
