The ruling Liberal Democratic Party's support rating has barely changed ahead of the Upper House election, reflecting the substantial lead it holds over the opposition Democratic Party of Japan, a survey said Sunday.
The nationwide telephone survey conducted over the weekend said that 30.6 percent of the public intends to vote for the LDP in the proportional representation section of the House of Councilors election on Sunday, compared with 29.8 percent a week ago.
No margin of error was given.
