The one poll where Obama has commanding lead: 7-11 coffee cups
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.
New Hampshire is tied.
