Watch: US Presidential Election 2012 reaction

After months of polling, debate and excitement, Barack Obama has been re-elected as President of the USA. Here is the considered reaction of two important members of the UCL community: Iwan Morgan (UCL Institute of the Americas), who is a world-expert on the US presidency, explains why Obama won and warns of more problems to come for the Republican Party. Professor Morgan has co-edited a book on the party tensions during Obama's first term entitled Broken Government? American Politics in the Obama Era. Beatrice Kelly, a second-year History of Art student and President of the UCLU American Society, who is a registered Democrat from Virginia, describes the buzz of her first election as a voter and her hopes for the next four years. There is more from both Beatrice and Morgan, as well as many more stories from around UCL, in the latest UCL News Podcast:
