2012 Election



Obama predominantly gained votes in the eastern states and western states with his votes containing non-whites (mixed race, Latino and black), young people, atheists and particularly women. Mitt Romney’s votes predominantly came from the central and southern states of America.  For women Romney stated that he would be ‘delighted’ to sign a bill banning all abortions while Obama said he believes women’s health decisions should be decided by them not politicians. He did live up to his expectations in some areas as job creations have gone up significantly since Obama took office in 2008. However the national device as almost doubled in contemporary America. Despite this many Americans still have faith in Obama’s plans such as an nhs. There are other factors as to why Obama was re-elected such as the war in the middle east as Obama wanted to withdraw American troops as  asap, while Romney was against the withdrawal. As these voting patterns are almost the same for many elections it can be identified that the country is almost 50-50 (split) when it comes to political ideology. In my opinion I forecast more victorious  elections for the Democratic party due to higher populations increasing in the eastern and western states (which are democratic) due to higher birth rates, immigration etc.

  1. This post has potential but you could be a little more detailed in your commentary. You could have included more than one line, and you need to offer a rationale for your choice, particularly as it is a British website.
