This question was asked before the 2012 election, during which, some polls indicated it would be very close. In the end, while Barack Obama did not get as many popular votes or electoral votes as he did in 2008, he still won in a very convincing manner, and was re-elected president on November 6, 2012.

What are the odds of Obama losing the 2012 election?
The odds of President Obama being re-elected are nearly 70% as of September 20 after Mr. Romney blew off 47% of Americans, but the President was already leading with an upward trend, and Mr. Romney was appreciating a continuing down trend. That leaves around 30% odds that President Obama will lose. This is according to Intrade (a world predictions market).
What are the odds that the President is a liar?
It is very unlikely that Obama has lied under oath. As for "spinning " his policies, putting things in the best light, the odds are very good that he does that. That is what politicians and lawyers learn to do and Obama is both.
Who will be the next president after Barack Obama?
It depends on who runs and who gets the most votes. The Intrade market has Barack Obama consistently around 60% to win, while the next closest is Mitt Romney with a predicted probability of winning of somewhere around 30%. If those odds hold true, then the next president will be Barack Obama.

What was the purpose of passing the twelfth Amendment?
The twelfth amendment to the US Constitution was intended to prevent having a President and Vice President voted in who were at odds with each other. Formerly, the Vice President was the presidential candidate with the second most votes. The amendment made it so that the Vice President was voted for separately and required a majority of the votes.
Is barack obama a better president than Mitt Romney?
It depends on who is answering the question. President Obama's supporters believe he inherited a disastrous situation from President Bush and helped to make things much better, against difficult odds that included a world-wide global economic crisis. The supporters of the president also point to his many accomplishments, including the rescue of the auto industry, ending the Iraq war, the reform of health care (expanding access to millions of Americans), championing legislation that gives women equal pay for equal work, leading the mission that killed Osama Bin Laden, etc. But the president's opponents disagree. Mitt Romney and his supporters believe the president has not turned the country's economy around and that he has been a failed president. Mr. Romney believes he can do a better job than President Obama did. Only time will tell which candidate wins the 2012 election.
Is Barack Obama on the ropes?
As evidenced by the takeover of the House by the Republicans in the mid-term election of 2010, President Obama and the Democrats had lost significant support in the electorate, and by late 2011, Obama's approval rating was below 50%. Whether this would translate into a loss in the 2012 election is debatable, and the prospect that another Democratic candidate would be nominated is extremely improbable. No, he is in a fairly good position for re-election in 2012, although nothing is assured. His approval rating in the polls is now higher than any other recent President's. The current Republican field of potential candidates to run against him is much to his advantage, as well. The Intrade odds have President Obama ahead as likely to win in 2012, with a 61.4% chance (and rising) as of early March 2012.
What is the list of British horse racing odds?
There is no "official' list of odds anywhere. At each track the handicapper(s) take their best guess and these are the odds printed in the program. But the betters set the real odds with their bets. The more money bet on a horse, the shorter the odds. Basically, at the track, all the money bet goes into a pool. The taxman and the track take their cut and what is left is the money that can be won. There is a sum of money (a pool) for first, a pool for second and a pool for third. A bet for second pays if the horse comes first or second. A bet for third pays if the horse finishes first or second or third. Bets with off track bookies are different. You are quoted odds at the time you place your bet and regardless of what else happens, if you win, you get paid at those odds.
