November 7
Obama won this re-election for many reasons and these are three groups that are just of the reasons.
- Hispanics
- Young Voters
- Women
- Hispanics are officially going to be heard and Mitt Romney struggled to appeal to the Hispanic voters in the United States. Hispanics account for more than half of the new population growth in the United States. Obama won majority of the Hispanic vote in Florida, but could've won even more if there weren't the normal republican cubans who normally vote republican.
- The youngsters turned out to be a major part in Obama's win as well. Young voters made up 19 percent of the electorate and 60 percent of young voters voted for Obama. Young voters proved that they must be taken serious and they'll usually be shown in whoever wins each election.
- Women made their voices heard in this election and in record numbers. Women are taking over the Senate and this year, there are the most women in the Senate. Women won Obama's vote by nearly ten percent more than Romney. However, even with the women takeover, it's more so for democratic women because during the election, none of the female Senators who were elected were Republican nominees.
