Does Barack Obama Have A Mandate? A Look At The Numbers

Does Barack Obama Have A Mandate? A Look At The Numbers:
However you slice it, Barack Obama does not come even close to a “mandate.”
He actually comes in near the bottom for percent total votes cast and percent total voters; he’s in the lower middle for percent per capita. So low is he that only an acts of hubris, historical ignorance, or prevarication would allow one to say he does have a mandate. -- | William M. Briggs, Statistician
