Updated 12:08am ET Most voters weren’t happy with direction the county is heading, but despite that, President Barack Obama will defeat Republican challenger Mitt Romney, NBC News projects. Exit poll interviews with voters on Tuesday point to three big reasons for Obama’s victory: First, despite a slim majority of voters thinking the country is on the wrong track, 54 percent approve of the way Obama is doing his job and the electorate was almost exactly split on whether Obama or Romney would be better at handling the economy. Among the four voters in 10 who said they think economic conditions in the country  are getting better, a huge majority, nearly nine out of ten, said they voted for Obama. And finally, a slight majority of voters voiced an unfavorable view of Romney personally, while a slight majority had a favorable view of Obama.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Asia Trip Gives Obama Opportunity to Build Legacy

Excerpt:

For President Barack Obama, expanding U.S. influence in Asia is more than just countering China or opening up new markets to American businesses. It's also about building his legacy. Fresh off re-election, Obama will make a significant investment in that effort during a quick run through Southeast Asia that begins Sunday. In addition to stops in Thailand and Cambodia, the president will make an historic visit to Myanmar, where his administration has led efforts to ease the once pariah nation out of international isolation. The trip marks Obama's fourth visit to Asia in as many years. With a second term now guaranteed, aides say Obama, who kicks off his schedule in Bangkok, will be a regular visitor to the region over the next four years as well.
