Even though I am north of the 49th parallel I am like most Canadians interested in the political affairs of the United States, even more so than most having spent the early part of my life in California where I was born.

I don't recall a presidential election being so close this late in the game or having such dynamic contenders or such interest and anticipation being in the air.

Active Rain is a true cross section of the whole country and a collection of many well versed, knowledgeable professionals coming from all walks of life. I don't think Gallup could find a better selection to poll.

Here is a poll for all Active Rain members....

• What effect will a new President in the White House have over the US economy in the next four years and what will they need to do to bring about needed changes?

• Who is going to be the next President of the United States?

I look forward to reading your ideas and thoughts.
