Hurricane Sandy itself may have helped Obama, regardless of what anyone said about it.  Most national crises that result from forces beyond the people's control, like a foreign invasion, will cause the approval rating of politicians in office to improve, regardless of whether they are doing a good job or not.

Others cite some of the positions taken by Romney and Obama during the campaign.  Hispanics voted in favor of Obama in large percentages, much larger than Democrats received in the past, and some have attributed that to the Republican position against amnesty for illegal aliens who came here from Mexico.

As to how young voters aged 18-29 favored Obama by a 60-36% margin, some point out that a record number of young people have no religion.  They do not read the Bible, and they do not attend church.  As the numbers of non-religious and even atheists grow among the youth, the support for the Democrats is going to increase.  Some observe that the exclusion of Christianity from public schools, which has control over 90% of teenagers, is starting to have a growing negative effect on election outcomes.  The only solution to that trend is for there to be more evangelism among the younger people in America.  Remember that the strongest correlation to how someone votes is how often he goes to church: the less he goes, the more likely he is to vote for Democrats.

Others observe that the slick campaign slogan by Democrats, accusing Republicans of a "War on Women," enabled Obama to win by a record 55-44% among women voters.  Romney won by a substantial percentage among men voters, but more women vote than men do.  Many women, however, dislike war, and Romney seemed more hawkish than Obama.

Rick Santorum, whom Romney defeated for the Republican nomination for president, said after the election that Romney and the Republican Party were too defensive throughout the campaign.  He observed that it is difficult to win a campaign by being defensive most of the time.
