Polls are definitely part of the election season and 7/11 has decided to jump on the bandwagon and do their own poll with coffee cups.
Every four years 7/11 changes their coffee cups to blue and red. If you choose a red cup you cast your vote for Romney and if you choose a blue cup you cast your vote for Obama. 7/11 says that the number of cups sold in each color in 2000, 2004 and 2008 accurately predicted the outcome of the presidential election.
Currently Obama is in the lead with 59% of the cups of coffee sold being in blue cups. Red cups sold have put Romney following at 41%.
15 states are not participating in the “cup poll”. Those states did not participate in the 3 earlier polls either.
