I'M VOTING FOR BUSH cups -- 51.08 percent

I'M VOTING FOR KERRY cups -- 48.92 percent

In 2000, the unabashedly unscientific and unofficial 7-Election Presidential Coffee Cup Poll mirrored actual election results between candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore within a few percentage points in most states.

Building off the remarkably accurate results in 2000, the 2004 7-Election Presidential Coffee Cup Poll provided customers at participating 7-Eleven stores the opportunity to cast their "vote" by pouring a 7-Eleven hot beverage into a 20-ounce cup bearing the name of candidates George W. Bush or John F. Kerry. During the month long poll, daily coffee cup counts were tracked nationally, by state and by major metropolitan area online at http://www.7-eleven.com/7-Election .

"The presidential race continues to heat up even in the final days before the election," said Kris Nelson, category manager for hot beverages, "and with more than one million customers buying coffee at 7-Eleven stores every day, our customers represent a huge segment of the voting population, making 7-Election a real grassroots indicator of what's to come tomorrow."
