(1,250 posts)On October 21st, lunamagica posted a thread called 7-eleven has Obama as a clear winner of the elections showing that the unlikely coffee cup purchase poll has been dead on with predicting the President for the past 3 elections.
Even getting the popular vote margin within 1% of actual result.
Let's look at 7-Eleven's 7-Election poll shall we?

Yep, still at 59% for Obama & 41% for Romney like it was 2 weeks ago.
Then on October 25th, Spitfire of ATJ posted a thread called Yes, gentle reader it's time once again for the Halloween mask poll.
This poll has been predicting the President accurately since 1996 when it was first started.
I've seen other posters referencing this Halloween mask poll.
Let's look at Spirit Halloween's results shall we?

That's 60% Obama masks vs. 40% Romney masks.
If I'm gonna trust a poll it's gonna be one where people actually put their money behind their words.
We will have the last laugh & our purest love will be rewarded by the universe.
