All eyes from across the world are following the US presidential election today as voters head out to cast ballots. The race for The White House nears its end, with many predicting a tight finish between the current US President Barack Obama and the Republican party's nominee for President, Mitt Romney.
The decision that the voters make will impact the course of the next four years on a number of areas that affects the whole of the population as well as those abroad. How the government spends its taxpayers money, taxes themselves, the healthcare situation and structure of it and foreign policy challenges including the nucleaur ambitions of eastern countries such as Iran and the rise of the next super power, China.
Unofficial opinion polls show that the two candidates for the position are too close to predict a strong leader, so the importance of certain vital states such as Ohio and Colorado is key. At the moment, the Democrats have a slight advantage involving the key, vital states, such as Ohio. This could give Obama the 270 electoral votes he needs to win.
This year has seen record spending by both party's involving negative ads. Focusing mainly on the lagging economic recovery and persistent high unemployment, as well as sometimes getting personal.

Campaign teams continue to persuade mutuals and those who are 'not so sure' at the last minute to mobilise supporters.
I believe that Obama will have the upper hand going into tomorrow. If enough people are as opinionated about opinion and the economic situation as I am, the US President will have another term at the top.
