Presidential Election

My team went to 59th street to do a survey on the Presidential Election and we had a strong vote from Obama voters. We came across many people that were interested in the Presidential election and had alot to say about thier opinions. Everyone that I interviewed was a democrat, besides one person and he even wanted Obama to win the race. He felt that reguardless of whoes in office, the government is going to be ran the same. We ran into a lady that was from london who said no one could make a better change to our economy than Barack Obama because of his recent success of senator. She felt that oil prices were too high and he could change that by changing the economies currency but if Macaan was choosen then it wouldnt be dealt with because he favors the wealthy. A family that we saw was Obama suppoters because they all said that their reason for choosing him is because they were from a family of less fortunate and they know that he will focus on people of that kind. We had fun stopping people because that helps us with our communication skills and people skills. Presenting yourself correctly is an extra step to speaking that way with out effort. Going out on surveys were not only challenging but helpful as well.
