Was this race effectively a “recall” on President Obama? That depends on who turned out at the voting booths yesterday. John Zogby, president of the polling firm Zogby International, gives us a picture of who turned out to vote yesterday and what surprised him in this morning’s results.
Theda Skocpol, professor of political science at Harvard University and the author of a recent report out by the Russell Sage Foundation that looked at President Obama’s first two years in office, helps us pinpoint his effect on the elections and how the mid-terms will affect the next two years of his presidency.
