You have declared Obama the next president...

Sorry, this video asset has been removed.

The polling is over, the speeches dusted off and America has a new President in waiting.

And you have played your part in the vote (sort of)!

We asked you yesterday to cast your vote as if you were in a US polling booth.

And the results are in!

In our very undemocratic Kentonline poll you put Obama way out front - taking 89.1 per cent of your vote.

John McCain came a poor second, with just 9.4 per cent of the total.

But 1.6 per cent of you who voted couldn't care less who won!

Our tongue-in-cheek poll came as look-a-like versions of Barack Obama and John McCain toured the streets of Tunbridge Wells fighting for your votes in a mock election.

Shoppers and residents turned up at the American and Worldwide Travel offices in the town and voted for whoever they thought would make the best next American president.

We'll bring you the result on Wednesday morning - but, in the meantime, let us know who'd get your vote in our own poll below.
