It's not just that Obama is going to win. He will win be a significant margin."

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

Given his current lead in most battleground states, based on various polls (including but not limited to NBC News, Project New West, and Quinnipiac University), and calculations by penny stock analyst Peter Leeds, President Barack Obama will win election to his second term if the vote were held today. That significant lead is expected to increase even more, according to the penny stock analyst, as an improving economy brings the unemployment rate down.

Of the nine battle ground States, only Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina are above the national average in unemployment of 8.5%, at levels of 13%, 10%, and 10%, respectively (Bureau of Labor Statistics). These latter two, with a total of 44 electoral college votes between them, may give Obama the toughest run for his money. However, even now these States are leaning slightly in favor of the Democrats, and the currently improving economic scenario plays into their hands.

Given the results of recent polls from NBC News and Project New West, the other six battle ground States are currently going to Obama. As well, given their currently improving economic picture, they may fall even further into the Democrat's camp. This assertion is furthered by their unemployment rates which are already lower than the national average, implying a voter base which would likely be more satisfied with the status quo. The other 6 battle ground States, all leaning Democrat, have unemployment rates at or below the national average; Ohio (8.5%); Colorado (8.0%); Pennsylvania (7.9%); Wisconsin (7.3%); Virginia (6.2%); New Hampshire (5.2%). (Bureau of Labor Statistics)

To provide better perspective, even if you were to awards victories in Florida and Ohio to the Republicans (despite the fact that both States are leaning toward the Democrats right now), the GOP would still end up with only 227 votes, versus the Democrat's 311. To win the presidency, 270 are required.

"It's not just that Obama is going to win," commented penny stock analyst Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and editor of Peter Leeds Penny Stock. "He will win by a significant margin. We've calculated the Democrats capturing 358 of the total 538 seats, well above the 270 needed to win. In fact, it would actually double the Republican's showing of only 180. It won't even be close."

Leeds conducts his analysis to uncover penny stock picks, looking for America's next great penny stock investments. He and his team take no compensation from any penny stock they analyze, and have no vested interest in the underlying penny stock companies.

Leeds added that, "there are philosophical differences between Republicans and Democrats, and their varying policies will have specific effects. As just one example, a Democratic White House is more likely to support stem cell research, and there are a few specific penny stock companies in that space that will benefit. The Democrats will also be somewhat slower to engage in deep water oil drilling, while being more friendly towards alternative energy companies, which will create lots of opportunities in the penny stock brokers and trading market."

Leeds has been publishing Peter Leeds Penny Stock for twelve years, and been engaged in the penny stock space for over 15. Asked why he focuses on penny stock trading specifically, Leeds cites that by finding the 5% that are actually very high quality companies, with growing revenues and solid balance sheets, there is no more lucrative form of investing. Penny stock trading, done properly, can be very rewarding.

Leeds also cautions that penny stock investing is not for everyone, and that any penny stock trader needs to first learn how to avoid the 95% of companies that are "ridiculous or unhealthy."
