YouSpeak: The Presidential Election
Who will you vote for?
Push comes to shove tomorrow in the presidential race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. When Election Day is over, its estimated price tag of $2.5 billion will make it the most expensive White House race in history,, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Recent polls have the two candidates in a dead heat. A Washington Post/ABC News poll taken last week reports that 49 percent of likely voters plan to vote for Obama and 48 percent for Romney. Pundits say that while a split verdict between the national vote and the Electoral College vote is unlikely, with a race this close they’re not ruling it out.
We wanted to know who you’re going to vote for tomorrow—and why. So this week’s “YouSpeak” asks, “Who do you plan to vote for in tomorrow’s election?”
“YouSpeak” typically appears each Monday.
