Post-Election, Americans Feel…

by on November 11, 2008, 10:48 am

After the most grueling election season most Americasn can remember, the general feeling is mixed.

The election of Barack H. Obama to the highest office in the land is an historic event that many Americans and those living abroad thought to be a foregone conclusion months ago, has become a reality.  As the President-Elect, Senator Obama is getting his cabinet in place for the transition into the Oval Office on January 20, 2009.  His victory over opponent John McCain, was not a surprise to most, but certainly not as wide a margain as the main stream media would have led the public to believe it would be.

iVote, the iPhone voting application, posted a question to users about how they feel.  Sensing that the main stream media would have stated a majority of democrats to be ELATED about the up and coming junior Senator from Illinois being elected to the most powerful position in the free world, we wanted to give iPhone users a voice to really state how they feel.

“After the election, I am feeling…?

20%              Elated

16%              Relieved

19%              Depressed

23%              Hopeful

11%              Anxious

11%              Unsure

What this data shows is that of iPhone users who are using the iVote application, a surprisingly low 43 percent gave a positive response to the question.

With the election being called a landslide victory for the democratic party, and iPhone users being of the young, democratic wing, as former polls have proved, this data is conflicting.
