NewsDepth Presidential Election results

FOR NOW, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE OTHER ELECTION – IT’S TIME TO SEE WHO YOU SELECTED IN OUR SPECIAL NEWSDEPTH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION POLL! AS A REMINDER, OUR POLL INCLUDED FOUR CANDIDATES: BUSINESSMAN DONALD TRUMP, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON, AND TWO THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES – GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE JILL STEIN AND LIBERTARIAN GARY JOHNSON.

THIS POLL WAS A NAIL-BITER! THE THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES HAD AN EARLY ADVANTAGE, BUT SOON DONALD TRUMP AND HILLARY CLINTON PULLED OUT AHEAD, AND WERE OFTEN IN A DEAD HEAT – RIGHT UP UNTIL THE END! IN FACT, THIS IS THE CLOSEST POLL WE’VE EVER HAD – WITH LESS THAN A PERCENT SEPARATING THE WINNER AND LOSER! BUT, WITH A MERE 5-VOTE LEAD, THE CANDIDATE YOU SELECTED WAS…HILLARY CLINTON!

AS YOU CAN SEE, CLINTON AND TRUMP AND NEARLY TIED! BUT HOW DO YOUR VOTES COMPARE WITH THE REST OF THE COUNTRY? LETS TAKE A LOOK: THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE WAS ALSO NECK AND NECK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND HILLARY CILNTON, BUT NATIONAL VOTERS GAVE FAR LESS VOTES TO 3RD PARTY CANDIDATES JILL STEIN AND GARY JOHNSON. IN OHIO, VOTERS DISAGREED WITH YOU ENTIRELY – THE POPULAR VOTE OVERWHELMINGLY WENT TO TRUMP, AND OHIO VOTERS LARGELY IGNORED THE THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES. WE HAD A RECORD NUMBER THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY TWO VOTES IN THIS POLL – AND WE’RE SO GLAD YOU TOOK THE TIME TO VOTE!
