Barack Obama (Democratic Party) Gary Johnson (Libertarian) 3% Undecided 6% Disgusted and not voting If the electronic security industry is any indication of widespread voter sentiment there may be a new U.S. president being inaugurated in 2013. Drawing the highest response rate of any online survey question this year, the September Security Scanner Web poll found respondents supporting GOP candidate Mitt Romney by a nearly 3-1 margin over incumbent Democrat Barrack Obama. These results should not come as too much of a surprise, however, as SSI's Security Industry Demographic Census earlier this year (March issue) showed 55% of those industry professionals categorize themselves as Republicans, compared to just 16% Democratic. It's worth noting that almost one in 10 said they are either still undecided or too disgusted with the whole process.
