Final results:

  • Electoral college: 349 seats to 162 seats (270 needed to win)
  • Popular vote: 52% to 46.7% (6 million vote plurality for Obama)

This is a landslide victory for Obama. America has decided that it wants change, and voted in a Democrat as President, a Democrat-controlled Congress and a Democrat-controlled Senate.

Now it comes entierly down to President Obama to show that the trust America – and the rest of the world – has put in him is justified.

The hard work starts here [well, in two months time].

    5.3% is hardly a landslide in UK terms but it makes all the difference in the US. Well done to Obama on an incredible campaign.

    LFAT, 5.3% in a presidential election is a landslide in American terms even if not in UK. But we have a less polarised political system, so it’s inevitable.
