1. The 7-11 coffee cup poll is the only one I trust!

And maybe the Halloween costume poll, which shows POTUS leading as well!

[Hissyspit]

2. I voted for Obama in that one!

Cherry Coke.

3. Ohio 58%, PA 57%, MI and Florida 56%, CO 60% Obama... ha ha!

4. Romney cups are leading in Wisconsin?

That's strange.

President Obama is leading in the polls there.

I see lots more Obama cups where I am. Safer than a yard sign or bumper stickers, because the many assclowns in my area think nothing of vandalizing vehicles/property with anything Obama on it.

I'm getting a coffee Friday!

5. I read a few weeks ago that in some states . . .

7-11 ran out of Obama cups. I'm sure that's the reason. Though peronally, I would drink out of the toilet before using an rMoney cup!

18. lol, me too. n/t

9. Obama in Texas at last check, though. ;)

However, it was a surprisingly accurate foreteller of the final % in the last two Presidential elections. I think it'll be off by some distance this time, but we can take eight points from Obama, give it to Romney and the President still wins.

13. Wisconsin is kind of strange to me, politically

It's a VERY white state, very little in the way of minorities as far as I've seen, though there are Hmong immigrants. Wisconsinites are very nice people, the ones I know at least, nothing like the rednecks of the South, yet they elected Walker and voted out Feingold. I'm sorry to say it seems like Wisconsin is shifting from blue to red, at least in the last few years...

16. Just curious . . .

what's an Hmong immigrant?

[catbyte]

19. Hmong is an ethnic Asian group from China & SE Asia.

[GallopingGhost]

17. That's too bad.

I don't know much about the state. I expected a huge Ryan bounce, which didn't appear to happen, and with Obama ahead in the state polls, I'm just puzzled by the cup thing.

6. yah, but it's *coffee* cups, right? How does square with Mormon Romney voters? n/t

11. Actually...

It has been more accurate than most polling in the past...

Saw the numbers a couple weeks ago but can't find the link...

20. cool... thanks!

7. Confession..

I have been skipping Starbucks on purpose just to buy the blue cups!

I did this in 2008 also, but I am really starting to get tired of this 7-11 coffee.

8. Would love to see this map on Nov 6th.

12. I read that

these 7-11 polls have been pretty accurate in the past as far as who ultimately wins--perhaps not in red states but overall anyway.

[FedUpJerseyGirl]

14. ....and from New Jersey

My local 7-11 has run through the Obama cups a few times, while Romney's are still there. They've also been out of these yummy little jelly donuts -- so I suspect that Gov. Christie has cleaned them out.

[whttevrr]

21. lol... poor jelly donuts... they did not have a chance.

[GallopingGhost]

22. Damn.

Now I want a jelly doughnut. lol
