This election is for half of the upper house (about 250 in total). Those up for election are the ones elected in 2001 when LDP's Koizumi was enormously popular. So, the right-wing LDP was naturally going to lose.  

The election will be in two segments; half nation-wide and the rest elected in each district. According to the latest poll by the Asahi newspaper, Democrats lead LDP by 32% to 25% nationwide, and by a smaller margin locally. I would submit LDP will lose a big time.

I will become a patissier, God willing.

And what do you think is the reason for the turn of public opinion against Shinzo Abe?
