Lear Capital Announces Results of Presidential Gold Poll and launches a new Spot Gold Giveaway

The Lear Capital Presidential Gold Poll (www.learcapital.com), which started late summer and boasted thousands of entrants, awarded its First Prize to an entry from the battleground state of Ohio where a registrant came closest to guessing the final popular vote of the 2012 Presidential Election.

The pundits called this year's Presidential contest, the most important election in a generation. On November 6th America went to the polls and re-elected Democratic President Barack Obama to another four-year term. It was an historic election in many respects by virtue of the monies spent on both sides as well as the staunch ideological differences that emerged in both party platforms.

After months of campaigning, the Rocky Mountain Rumble, the Heat-Up in Hofstra, the Foxtrot in Florida, Super Storm Sandy, speeches about jobs, energy policy, taxes, health care, the deficit, China, Libya, and immigration … it was over in a single night. The final outcome separated President Obama and former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney by a mere 3.5% of the popular vote but recorded a near electoral landslide for the President.

Each side offered very different visions for the country and contrasting remedies for curing all that ails America. National polls had the contest virtually tied going into Election Day as Governor Romney had gained momentum since the first debate, but President Obama clearly reignited his base. He will be sworn in for another term on January 21, 2013.

Lear Capital (www.learcapital.com) has just launched a new Gold Promo called the "The Lear Capital Year-End Spot Gold Giveaway" that also features a golden prize. An ounce of gold will be given to the closest guess to the final price of gold at the end of 2012. Entry to the Spot Gold Giveaway is free and registrants can also download Lear's newest publication "Why America Holds Gold" which explores US debt, the role of central banks, the international gold grab, and gold as the eternal standard.

The Year-End Spot Gold Giveaway (www.learcapital.com) closes on December 24, 2012.
