Nearly 30 percent of the public plans to vote for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party in the proportional representation section of the Lower House election expected next month, versus 8.0 percent for the main opposition Democratic Party, a Kyodo News poll said Sunday.

The results said 27 percent plan to go with the LDP, 6.2 percent with a new party slated to be established by Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike's aide, 4.6 percent for LDP ally Komeito, 3.5 percent for the Japanese Communist Party, 2.2 percent for Nippon Ishin no Kai, and 0.3 percent for the Social Democratic Party.

A whopping 42.2 percent, however, said they didn't know who they will vote for.
