German term

mE

Non-PRO German to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters abbreviation
This could be a very common abbreviation, but I haven't been able to find out its meaning elsewhere online so I'm asking here. Thanks in advance. Here is the context:

"Ein weißer Kandidat hat mE. weit mehr Chancen auf die Wechselwähler, auch hat ein älterer erfahrener Kandidat mehr Chancen bei republikanischen konservativeren Wechselwählern, und dazu kommt: Bill Clinton hat damals eine sehr gute Wirtschaftspolitik gemacht, das wissen die Leute, vor allem die Alten."

and also at:

"Obama wird es nicht schaffen, verdammt, er ist eine Wunschseifenblase, die mE von den Republikaneren bis zur Rauswurf Clintons eifrig genährt wird."
Proposed translations (English)
4 +11 imo
4 +3 to my thinking, in my opinion

neutral Alison Schwitzgebel : I wouldn't use this in formal writing though, whereas m.E. is quite acceptable formal usage, even in a legal context, in German

"Obama wird es nicht schaffen, verdammt," doesn't look like formal writing.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you! I'm picking this answer because "imo" is an abbreviation like "mE" (if perhaps slightly more informal). The other response isn't wrong though. Thanks again."
