    Just like the historic election on November 4th, this survey result was one that we knew we were going to be able to call early. As soon as the results started coming in, the vast majority were tipped in Obama’s favor. And it’s no wonder considering that the majority of Columbus Underground regulars are young, hip, city-dwellers that tend to align themselves with Obama’s policies and plans.

    Barack made history in Columbus on November 2nd when he held a rally on the Statehouse lawn that attracted over 60,000 people to hear him speak and was later announced to have been the largest single crowd for a political event in the history of our city.

    Obama will be sworn into office as president on Tuesday, January 20th.
