Asian-Americans are a fast growing population in the United States. Yet they made up just three percent of the electorate.
Of those asked, ninety-three percent of African Americans reported voting for President Obama. Seventy-one percent of Hispanics said they supported him. Studies also found that over seventy percent of Asian Americans voted for Mr. Obama.
In addition to minorities, both women and young people were more likely to support the president than Mister Romney. Researcher Scott Rasmussen says there is an age difference in American politics. He says people over the age of forty were more likely to support Mister Romney. And, people under forty were more likely to vote for Mister Obama.
The president is facing a number of difficult issues as he prepares for his second term. They include the size of the federal budget deficit.
Mr. Obama and Congress will have to bury political differences to solve what is being called “the fiscal cliff.” In his first official speech since being re-elected, the president said he is calling on congressional leaders for talks at the White House next week. They will discuss how to avoid the required spending cuts and tax increases that would affect all American workers on January first.
“What the American people are looking for is cooperation, their looking for consensus, they’re looking for common sense. Most of all they want action. I intend to deliver for them in my second term. And I expect to find willing partners in both parties. So let’s get to work.”
