TOKYO (AP) — New polls show that Japan's ruling party could be headed toward an even larger-than-anticipated victory in upcoming national elections. Japan's major newspapers said Thursday that the Liberal Democratic Party could take more than 300 of the 475 seats in Japan's lower house election on Dec. 14. The projections were based on voter surveys each did. A resounding victory could help Prime Minister Shinzo Abe tackle politically difficult issues such as opening up Japan's agriculture markets and restarting nuclear power plants. Abe dissolved the lower house last month to force a snap election.
