Subject: Poll Results: Data Miners favor Obama by a big margin

The most recent KDnuggets Poll, conducted two weeks before the US Presidential election, asked: Who do you support as the next US President: Obama or McCain ?

61% of US-based respondents were for Obama, compared to 29% for McCain.

Support for Obama was even higher in other parts of the world:

  • 83% in Asia / Pacific
  • 85% in Europe
These 3 regions had less than 10 voters, so the results may not be representative, but still
  • 71% in Canada
  • 75% in Africa / Middle east
  • 86% in Latin America
Here are the full results of

KDnuggets Poll: Obama vs McCain (Oct 2008).
