Election Day: Battleground States

Obama S Victory Dept: Enormous challenges lie ahead in the president s second term as he attempts to revive the U.S. economy and push forward his health-care reforms in spite of Washington s partisan divide, according to CTV. But he won just 50 per cent of the popular vote, suggesting that Americans were not as confident in his leadership as they were in 2008 and u.S. President Barack Obama s road to re-election may have been smoother than expected, but he won t have much time to savour the victory. Despite some predictions of a very tight race on election day, Obama s victory was clear relatively early Tuesday night, as he carried key battleground states and garnered the majority of the electoral college votes.
