Will Barack Obama win another four years in the Oval Office or will Mitt Romney be the country’s next president? You can make your predictions with the “You Decide 2012 Map,” a new iPad app from Fox News.
The app lets you make your own election forecasts based on the electoral college — just tap on a state to designate it as “Democrat,” “Republican,” “Leaning” or “Toss Up,” then see which candidate gets to the magic number of 270.
You can share the predictions with your Facebook friends or Twitter followers directly from the app.
If you’d like an expert opinion along with your own, former George W. Bush advisor Karl Rove and former Howard Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi — both Fox News contributors — deliver their predictions and analysis through the map. You can even use the app to tweet your guesses to Rove and Trippi.
There’s something for political history geeks, too: Historical electoral college maps are easily accessed and analyzed using the app.
You Decide 2012 Map is the latest in a string of election-specific mobile apps released by news outlets over the past few months — The Washington Post, NBC and Talking Points Memo have also released apps based on political news, maps or polling data.
You can download the You Decide 2012 Map app in the App Store. What are your election predictions? Share them in the comments below.
