Obama leads Romney in projected electoral vote totals | The United States President Barack Obama is leading the likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney by a significant margin in various US states. The GOP had
188 electorate votes that were either firmly Republican or leaning Republican.
According to Politico, Obama has 242 electoral votes in Democratic states, leaving
104 electoral votes in states that were purely tossups. A total of 270 votes are
needed to win the presidential elections. Colorado has long been a reliable GOP
state, but an influx of young professionals and Hispanic voters led to Obama's
victory in 2008, whereas Florida is the prime state for both campaigners. Obama
won the Florida elections in 2008, but the housing crisis, high unemployment and
gas prices are still dogging him. Romney won the Florida primary in January, and
has picked up endorsement of freshman senator. In Iowa , Obama's victory in the
state in 2008 gave him a launch pad, which is countered by Romney's two caucus
campaigns. New Hampshire , is Romney's vacation home. He won the 2012 primary
big, but Obama peeled off the state in 2008 and has worked hard to keep it. Nevada
is a prime example of the economy's struggles, a point that can benefit Romney.
A higher Mormon population helps Romney. In North Carolina , Obama was the first
Democrat to win North Carolina in 32 years and he again hopes to gain a high percentage
of votes from newcomers and minorities. Romney won the 2012 primary in Ohio and
has support from big public figures. Obama has the organizing advantage, although
the economy remains a sticking point, especially in the industrial northwest.
The analysis gives President Obama's team a lot more flexibility in terms of winning
elections, though it is too early to make a conclusion.
