President Barack Obama Wins Re-election to a Second Term


Barack Hussein Obama was re-elected President of the United States on Tuesday overcoming -
powerful economic headwinds
a lock-step resistance to his agenda by Republicans in Congress and
an unprecedented torrent of advertising

In defeating Mitt Romney, the president carried Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire, Colorado and Virginia and was holding on to a narrow advantage in Ohio and Florida.

Hispanics made up an important part of Mr. Obama’s winning coalition, preliminary exit poll data showed.

For Barack Obama, the result brings a ratification of his sweeping health care act, which Mr. Romney had vowed to repeal. The law will now continue on course toward nearly full implementation in 2014, promising to change significantly the way medical services are administrated nationwide.

Barack Obama(51) faces governing in a deeply divided country and a partisan-rich capital, where Republicans retained their majority in the House and Democrats kept their control of the Senate.
