It may be as hard to find a believable poll as it is a good cup of coffee, but the 7-11 convenience store chain has been polling its coffee drinkers and surprise, surprise, it has Obama ahead by nearly 9 percentage points.

Everyone is free to conduct their own analysis of which sectors of American society visit 7-11 stores, but isn't it interesting that a corner store fixture across America that usually isn't called upscale its doing its own polling and its snapshot shows Obama is making inroads into middle America.

Of course you might well be polling the same folks in all 3 venues.

(I'm guessing McCain may do better among those folks.) [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] 9 points?

For the mentally challenged, they could be confusing, but they're constantly dazed and confused, anyway. I keep hoping they represent a smaller proportion of voters than they did in '00 & '04.

[Report this comment] Posted by: Seth D on Oct 15, 2008 8:18 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] 7-election dot com is not accurate. why? let's take a look at the cold hard facts: 7-11 s a convenience store. all convenience stores are run by arabs. apu from quickie mart is a fine example. he is from india, which, as we all know, is part of arabia. all arabs are muslim. all muslims are islamics. all islamics are fundamentalists. all fundamentalists are extremists. all arab muslim islamic fundamentalist extremists are jihadists. all jihadists are violent terrorists [duh!] so when people are asked at 7-11 who they plan to vote for, they have to lie and say "obama" because obama is also an arabic muslim islamic fundamentalist extremist jihadist terrorist. otherwise, they might upset apu, who might then [quite predictably] go alahu akbar on the customer, which would spill coffee everywhere, and create orphans.
