TOKYO -- Japan's youth showed strong support for the establishment and voted heavily for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Sunday's election -- the first lower house poll since the voting age was lowered to 18 from 20 -- Kyodo data reveals.
Exit polls put support for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's LDP at 39.9% among 18- and 19-year-olds, almost four times higher than their second-favorite choice, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike's Party of Hope.
