In case you failed to notice, it's election day! All that campaigning and debating and politicking has lead up to this 11-hour window. Absentee voters have already done their duty, but if you're walking in, this is your day. Naturally, we asked the public for their poll day predictions, and here they are.
Based on more than 1,500 registered votes (unregistered votes were filtered out to ensure legitimacy), SodaHeads feel Mitt Romney is more likely to come out on top after all the votes are tallied up. As usual, the results were pretty close -- 47% for Obama and 53% for Romney -- but as you know, an election can be decided by the smallest percentile. If Romney can pull the same numbers at the polls, it will be more than enough.
Party Lines
Predictions don't necessarily reflect party affiliations. For instance, an Obama supporter could feel Romney has better odds. However, that was almost never the case here. Nearly every liberal thinks Obama is going to win (92%) and nearly every conservative thinks Romney is going to win (96%). But because conservatives were 4% more confident, and because more of them voted, Romney took the lead.

Voters who were not affiliated with either party were much less predictable. The moderate group and the "other" group, both having notable sample sizes, were slightly in favor of Obama. The combination of liberals, moderates, and "other" voters was actually very close to the total number of conservative voters.

One of the core issues in this election was unemployment, and unemployed voters were largely in favor of Romney. Broken down by employment status, students were actually the only group favoring Obama. As we've noted in previous recaps, young voters are often less likely to vote. Many aren't even allowed to.

I see they are true to their WORDS!
He was chosen to LOSE to Obama. Why else would he act like a NAZI against the Liberty Movement unless he wanted to LOSE?
OMG how does it feel to be WRONG. Epic FAIL.
Michelle Bachman wins by the skin of her teeth and Jesse Jackson Jr.who has been in a treatment center for mental problems since June wins in a landslide.IT IS THE MESSAGE.One tea party backed candidate wins out of twelve.IT IS THE MESSAGE.
Let's see. What other areas are the Conservatives proving to be bad at?
Global climate change comes to mind.
Understanding the value and role of science is another.
Interpretation of the of these words is a third:: "It is harder for a rich man get into the Kingdom of Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle."
For conservatives, this translates to--as expressed by Romney-- "I don't care about the very poor." And his proposed policies could be stated as "If we cut taxes to the wealthy, we can balance the budget by cutting benefits to the poor." If the poor are lucky--which in the last 39 years they haven't been--some of that wealth will "trickle down."
I call an inconsistency like this as an "anomaly" between the observation (a text within scripture) and one's model. In this case, the model or models the who Jesus was and what role his teaching as the spiritual leader of Christianity plays in the behavior of Christians.

Brown went down, Akin got his ass handed to him, Mourdock got an old fashion butt kicking, and Mittens and Paulie bit the dust. Pretty good night!
Sodahead poll results once again prove how far to the right Sodahead actually is. It makes me feel like a missionary in Right-Wing Fantasyland!

It took me a little bit though because I had some faith that people here can be reasonable but... that notion got disabused here.
