Japanese voters are going to the polls Sunday to cast ballots in parliamentary elections that are expected to benefit Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). 
Voting began at 7:00 a.m. (2200 GMT/UCT Saturday), and results should be known shortly after the polls close at 8:00 p.m. 
A recent poll found that 41 percent disapprove of Abe's economic policies. But support for his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), a less-than-resounding 37 percent, far outpaced the 11 percent for the main opposition Democratic Party.
