95. I sense relief but there has been relatively little actual gloating.
People where I am are wealthy. They wanted shrub, and are relieved he was "reelected". But many if not most basically know that he is a crappy president.

Mostly they just want their tax cut. Bible thumpy issues rule with some also.
