If The World Had An Electoral Vote

Here is another engaging interactive infographic: Global Electoral College. According to The Economist, if the world had a chance to vote in our presidential election, it would be a landslide. However, as Buzzfeed points out, “not sure if that will help him [Obama] or hurt him with US voters.”

Of course the world doesn’t get to pick our president. We do. The latest Gallup poll gives Obama a 50% to 42% edge, but you can see from this graph, it has been a seesaw battle for the last three weeks. Yahoo’s prediction market based scenarios already have Obama a projected electoral college winner (if the election were held today). Others report the electoral map is too close to call.
