This article was about Donald Trump’s win in New Hampshire by capturing multiple groups of voters. Most of the detail in this article was about what groups of people voted for and what certain people wanted. There were a lot of numbers and percentages throughout the article. The article also talked about John Kasich who finished in second.

Trump’s victory in New Hampshire was in large effect to him carrying a wide range of demographic and ideological groups with more than 30% of the vote. He also pretty much eliminated the gender gap by topping the field in both men and women. He also received a lot of votes from voters of 64 years or younger, voters without a college degree, and those who have a college degree but no postgraduate study. Trump also won 6 out of 10 voters who said they were for an outside candidate. There was also an exit poll that was taken that had Trump finishing first and Kasich in second as well. I thought this article was a very informative. I liked the use of statistics to show you exactly what the outcomes were for the voting. This article relates really well with the unit because it is all about polls and the results from them. There is public opinion and actually a lot of vocabulary in the article from our unit.

The article is about how Obama wants to expand background checks and clarify the existing laws that are now in place that have to do with gun laws. Obama is doing this because it is what the people proposed a referendum. They said they wanted the change in the public polls which we have talked about in this unit. Even though we aren’t a direct democracy, Obama still said he would like to listen to what the people are saying and try to please them if he could. The main part of the article is to say that Obama is listening to what the people have to say and what they think about gun laws and he is trying to do is best to bend and fit what they want.

I agree with this article because I think that background checks should be made more strict and for everyone. In this article it says that they don’t want the wrong people having guns for the wrong reason and that’s exactly why I agree with what the people are saying. It is good that people are taking the initiative and telling the government what they want. To me it is a very important issue and it could save lives if Obama goes along with what the majority of the people are telling him. This relates to what we are talking about in class because in the article it gives polls that have percentages of what the people are voting for from both the democratic and republican party’s. To me it only makes sense to do it because the plurality of the votes were to make them stricter. The public polling was something that we talked about a few days ago and I thought that the opinion from the public in this article fit well within the unit.
