The Obama Presidency — Quiz

Question 2 • US History

Which statement best describes the election of 2008?

Answer
A
Voter turnout was high because Americans knew important decisions had to be made.
B
Voter turnout was low because the country was prosperous and secure.
C
Voter turnout was low because neither candidate excited the public.
D
Voter turnout was high because Americans wanted to show approval for the government.

Explanation

The 2008 election drew high voter turnout amid serious concerns about the economy and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many voters believed the election would shape important decisions about the country’s future, which best matches the statement that turnout was high because important decisions had to be made. The country was not especially prosperous and secure, so choice B does not fit.
