Determinate Political Graphs

The 'Fate of the Nation' Infographic Predicts the Outcome

— July 13, 2012 — Pop Culture
The upcoming Presidential election is a big determinant of some key issues the United States is in the process of addressing: gay marriage rights, healthcare and much more. The 'Fate of the Nation' takes a look at the state of the nation and the opinions of the population as a whole.

The overwhelming conclusion of these findings is that the public is incredibly polarized -- almost an even divide. This, in turn, means that this upcoming election is going to be a close call and that one camp will inevitably be incredibly disappointed. The graphic points to a 51% unapproval rating of Republican nominee Mitt Romney and and only a 47.2% approval rating of Obama's economic powers. Both camps seem to be kind of iffy on their frontrunners for the time being.
Trend Themes
1. Political Polarization - The 'Fate of the Nation' infographic reveals a highly polarized public, presenting an opportunity for disruptive innovations that bridge the divide and bring people together.
2. Close Electoral Race - With the upcoming election predicted to be a close call, there is an opportunity for disruptive innovations in campaign strategies, voter engagement, and predicting election outcomes.
3. Candidate Approval Ratings - The contrasting approval ratings for Mitt Romney and Obama's economic powers highlight an opportunity for disruptive innovations that improve candidate likability and economic policy credibility.
Industry Implications
1. Political Consulting - The highly polarized public and close electoral race call for disruptive innovations in political consulting, such as advanced data analytics for target audience analysis and campaign strategy development.
2. Voter Engagement - Given the close call election, there is an opportunity for disruptive innovations in voter engagement tools and platforms, facilitating informed decision-making and increasing voter turnout.
3. Political Opinion Analysis - The divergent approval ratings for candidates create an opportunity for disruptive innovations in political opinion analysis, using AI and machine learning to decipher and predict public sentiment accurately.
