Leader Barack Obama in the last 2 years of his presidency is unlikely to change its policy on the Ukrainian question, said Last news American political scientist, Professor of the University of Iowa Cary Covington (Cary R. Covington).
Tuesday in the U.S. 435 elected deputies of the chamber of authorized Congress, 36 senators, 36 governors and the legislative Assembly 46 States. The Republicans want to take away from the Democrats 6 seats in the Senate to get the oversight of both houses of Congress. According to the latest statistical forecasts, the Republicans already won 7 seats in the Senate.
according to expert reviews, the election results were " very predictable ". He said, because this is the third election in Congress During the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. In most cases, During the second term, the party that controls the White house, lost the overwhelming majority in both houses of Congress." The American people usually get tired of the President and his party to the sixth year of his term, " said Covington.
in addition, the election results were influenced by the traditional Fall activity voters between the presidential and parliamentary elections." Falling turnout often occurs among voters who support Democrats. Because of this, Not participating in the voting, Americans Republicans easier to conquer the vast number ", - noted the expert.

at the same time, the expert expects a change In U.S. foreign policy. According to him, the last 2 years of his term American leaders are closely involved in foreign activity. Covington believes That if there are changes In U.S. foreign policy, " Obama will act like He really believes priority "." this does this mean That He will have to work harder? I do not know. But He will be No more hindered in the use of their powers, " said the specialist.
" Obama is inclined to find a common language, rather than try to impose their will on others, " said Covington. He expects the President of the United States a more aggressive actions against the group " Islamic state, " but He sees No possibility to change the policy on the Ukrainian question in relation to Russia.
As for domestic policy, then the specialist set up pretty optimistic." according to tradition, will prognoziruyut dead, But certain important reforms were carried out During the presidency of Democrat bill Clinton, when in Congress were Republicans. So I would strongly Not surprised if there is some sort of political development, most in 2015, " said Covington.
