The Candy Poll -- An Obama Landslide


The kids decided to do their own Halloween poll of the neighborhood. The 6 year old dressed up as a donkey and the 8 year old was an elephant (he had to be talked into that one). At each house they asked people to put the treats into one of three bags labeled Obama, McCain and Undecided/Other. The results are shown graphically below

Obama 60
McCain 21
Undecided/Other 12
MOE: +/- 4 Snickers

They also scored two campaign stickers from a neighbor running for state rep.

Sure there was some stuffing of the ballot bags (on both sides) and I'm not sure if Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight.com would approve of the methodology, but the results were tasty.
