So, a few days left
until the moment when America and the world will know the name of the new
president of the United States. By the final months of fighting, although in fact
it went all four years during the Obama stay in the White House, the obvious recent advantage of the current
president, melted before our eyes. The contenders for the top office came to the
final phase, what is called, neck and neck. This is confirmed by the results of
various polls conducted after the last
presidential debate, which took place on Monday, October 22 at Florida Lynn
University, though not all of them are clear - some give some advantage to
Obama, other state the slight advantage Mitt Romney.
That is why both candidates immediately after the last
debate, went for the votes, especially in the so-called "swing
states," understanding that they
can play a decisive role in the last stage. Obama decided to spend the last
election "hunt" in Florida and Ohio, Romney - in Nevada and Colorado.
This is particularly important given the fact, that the electoral college
brings the final result of the election (to win necessary 270 votes), which each
state delegates depending on their size. At this stage of evaluation of the
candidates assumption about who can receive more support from the electorate, vary widely. For example, if The New York
Times supposes that Obama has secured the support of 237 electors, and Romney -
206, then The Washington Post gives the President 255 votes, and Romney - 206.
According to historical statistics, debates four times
decided the fate of the U.S. presidential election - in 1960, 1980, 1988 and
2000. And the gap between the candidates in these cases was minimal before the
debates. After their completion, one of the candidates gained extra votes, which
led him to victory. Did last debates decide the fate of the presidential
election for the fifth time?
The debates define the elections! Amazing!
