The final tally of the sales of election coffee cups in that very unscientific 7-11 poll was remarkably on target...probably within tenths of a point. Not too shabby.

That is really amazing!
Why do we need all these expensive pollsters?
Just ask 7/11!

I wonder if one checked these 7/11 polls by counties and states, if they were accurate. Interesting.

Aren't most 7/11 stores in heavily populated areas? Big cities?
If this is true, then Republicans should be concerned because they didn't get ENOUGH of the vote out......??????

The "mask poll" got the winner, but not quite as accurate:

The bookies seemed to have had a good handle on it too. I like to know the agenda from which the information is derived. Money pretty much trumps (sorry about pun :)) all else.

We have very few 7-11's in Ohio anymore, at least compared to other brands. They are big on "Speedways Starvin Marvin" here.

The "brand" is out of business in Tx also.

We have a new player invading the DFW area---Quick Trip---which is far superior to the competition.
