Results of the Scarsdale10583 Presidential Election Poll

The results of the Scarsdale10583 Presidential Poll are in – and among the 153 who participated, Obama lead 53.5% to 43.7% for Mitt Romney.  We also asked users to rank the issues in order of importance to them and here is how they stacked up. It is interesting to note that two issues that barely figured in the national debate are of primary concern to Scarsdale voters:

Here are the issues in order of importance:

1) Gun Control

2) The Environment

3) Healthcare/Women’s Rights (tied)

4) Foreign Policy/Tax Policy (tied)

5) The National Debt

6) Jobs and the Economy

Here are a few of the many comments we received on the survey:

-I hope people listen closely to what the candidate really say and understand whether they are not truthful rather than listening to the media reword things. There are a lot of smart people in Scarsdale and I hope they will think before they vote!!!!

-As my 18-year-old voter son said, "I am a social liberal and a fiscal conservative, and right now the economic issues are just way more important". Gotta love that Scarsdale Schools' critical thinking in action!

-Romney cannot possibly do worse than Obama on any of the issues I highlight as important. Especially after seeing him define himself during the debates, I am convinced Mitt is the better man.

-I don't know how anyone can vote for Romney...Republican or Democrat....he only says what he believes will win him votes...no one really knows what he believes or will do...he has taken all sides of all issues
