QOW #3
Obama's job approval is 80% among Democrats and 12% among Republicans. This polarization continued into his third year of office. He averages at a 43% job approval in the most recent quarter in office. There are 64.6% employed full time, 18.4 % underemployed and 8.6 % unemployed. The employment rate has decreased some. Obama has a good chance of winning but will have some tough competition if he is against Mitt Romney.
QOW #5
Mitt Romney will probably win the GOP nomination. He is most likely the best candidate that has the best chance of beating President Barack Obama. He is a successful businessman and has been a successful governor so he knows his politics. His win in Iowa and New Hampshire also increase his chances of winning. From January 4-8, 2012, 60% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who are registered to vote believe that Romney will win the GOP nomination. As of right now Romney has a great chance at winning.
QOW #6
A lot has happened so far this semester. Senior year has been a lot harder than I expected. I was foolish to believe all the people that told me it was going to be easy. This year has been the hardest for me yet. First quarter I did excellent but second quarter didn't go as great as I wanted it to go. It's great to have finally made it to the halfway point. But I still know there is a whole semester left and I have to continue to work hard. We are starting to learn about comparative government and I am interested to learn about the types of government in other countries and how they compare to our own.
QOW #4
My favorite holiday memory was traveling to Alabama to spend time with my dad's side of the family. It was a long drive (14 hours) but it was totally worth it. I spent a week there and I enjoyed every minute of it; especially the good ol' southern food my grandmother made for me. I got to see my cousins and uncles that I hadn't seen in months. My other favorite part was that I was taking a vacation from school, track, and work. The whole week I was there, I was in relax mode. It was great. I had a great time overall.
