Rewind to November, 2000. A huge upset in voting recounts is happening. All news network polls, third-party polls, just about every poll in existence for the Presidential election between W. Bush and Al Gore is proving to be terribly inconsistent. All the polls compared against each other are proving to have such widely varying results that nothing seems to make sense. Some networks reporting a polling of 48-46 for Gore, others reporting 50-45 for W. Bush. It’s pretty funny how inaccurate everything is proving to be. But one poll stands above the rest. Not NY Times, not NPR, not even the old pros at professional polling consultants. No, 7-11 runs the most accurate poll to actual vote counts. And they run it in the simplest method. By supplying their customers a choice between a Gore coffee cup and a W. Bush coffee cup.

The results in 2000 go as follow:

2000 Election
George W. Bush:  US Voters: 47.9%, 7-Eleven Voters: 51%
Al Gore:  US Voters: 48.4%, 7-Eleven Voters: 49%
Note:  Bush won in electoral votes, not popular votes in 2000.

And then in 2004, the simple coffee cup poll gets so dangerously accurate, people’s eye-brows start to raise:

2004 Election
George W. Bush: US Voters: 50.7%, 7-Eleven Voters: 51%
John Kerry: US Voters: 48.3%, 7-Eleven Voters: 49%

That’s right. The poll vs actual votes is so similar that the accuracy seems unreal.

But it makes sense, doesn’t it. Regular polling can be so bias, corrupted, and just generally methodologically inaccurate. But what better way to minimize error and corruption, but by supplying the poll within a regular activity? It’s simply beautiful…and genius. There is nothing threatening about coffee cup choices. People are less intimidated to choose, less ashamed, and it’s WAY more in touch with working America. I’m sure if you dig up some stats on 7-11 coffee drinkers, you will see that they easily span financial, social, moral, and ethnic lines in the American populace. In any given day you have a Wall Street trader, a homeless guy, and me all getting coffee at the 7-11. So, planned or not, 7-11 has come upon a powerful polling tool.

What’s the good news?
Simply? Well, that Obama is going to have a one hell of a victory tomorrow. If the previous 7-11 polls prove to be consistent with this one, there is little hope for John McCain. He is currently trailing in the 7-11 coffee cup poll by 20 points. At 60-40 for Obama.

God bless you 7-11 for this wonderful news.
