Yomiuri
Shimbun is the first MSM with a post-election (December
17-18) opinion poll. Here are the numbers that caught my fancy:

The LDP and DPJ numbers tell you that
people love winners and dislike losers—behavioral social scientists must have
written extensively on this—while the JRP/YP numbers tell you how reliant they
were, to different degrees dependent on their maturity, on the floater voters. And
the (New) Komeito numbers remind us of the enduring reluctance to reveal Sokagakkai membership, even anonymously.
It must be part of what they call the DNA of an institution at work.
