UMBC political science professor Thomas F. Schaller appeared on television, radio and online media across Australia yesterday in coverage on the U.S. presidential election.
Schaller told “The World Today” and news.com.au that he expects the Democrats to hold the Senate and the Republicans to hold the House, by small margins, and President Obama to win the election by three or four points. Although one might expect high unemployment to hurt Obama’s chances, Schaller noted, many in the U.S. still blame former President Bush for current economic woes.
In a television interview on Australia World News, Schaller discussed Romney’s remarks about “the 47%,” which have dominated U.S. election news, and also the limited impact at this point of remaining undecided voters in key swing states. See the extended interview video for additional commentary.
