In the 2008 election

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the 2008 election, Barack Obama won a decisive victory over John McCain, including a significant percentage of the popular vote. This was the highest percentage of the popular vote won by a presidential candidate in two decades. The election did not hinge on a recount in Florida (that was the 2000 election), and Obama won both the popular vote and the Electoral College, so options A and B are incorrect. While Obama's victory was clear, describing it as "narrowly defeated" underplays the extent of his win, making C incorrect.
