Nationally, Obama is up 60% to 40% and is even beating the
former Massachusetts governor in such GOP strongholds as Utah, Texas and
South Carolina.
While most polls in the presidential race
are pretty tight, one that has successfully predicted the winners in
the last three elections has President Barack Obama with a commanding
lead: The 7-Eleven coffee cup contest.
The convenience-store chain sells coffee cups colored red or blue and
marked with the names of the Democratic incumbent and his Republican
challenger, Mitt Romney.
Nationally, Obama is up 60% to 40% and is even beating the former
Massachusetts governor in such GOP strongholds as Utah, Texas and South
Carolina.
As of Tuesday, Romney was ahead in just two states, Idaho and West
Virginia. He does not break 60% in either of them while the president is
well ahead of that number in several, including California, Washington,
New Mexico and Iowa.
