Barack Obama is now officially the 44th President of the United States.
It appears the run to the White House for Barack Obama was more popular for some of our listeners than our own federal election.
63 per cent of the respondents to a recent internet news poll said they were more interested in the American election than our federal election in October.
And the main reason in almost every response was Barack Obama.
Many respondents pointed to the history of the event as Americans elected the first black President while the outcome of the Canadian election was predictable.
Others said the candidates in the American election had more personality and were far more interesting.
181 people responded to the two week online survey.
