TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's support ratings have recovered to the 50 percent level, a poll released on Tuesday showed, helped by public jitters over North Korea's missile and nuclear tests and by disarray in the main opposition party.

A September 8-10 survey by the Yomiuri newspaper put support for Abe's administration at 50 percent, up 8 points from the previous month.
