Trump leads Cincinnati ‘cookie poll’ that has predicted every election but one since 1984

Donald Trump’s campaign is getting some dough-lightful news out of Ohio.

A beloved Cincinnati bakery, whose “cookie poll” has accurately predicted every election outcome but one since 1984, has the former president and Republican nominee leading Democrat Kamala Harris in its unscientific survey.

Trump notched about 54% support (2,953 cookies) to Harris’ 39% (2,134 cookies), with an “independent” smiley-face cookie scoring 7% (397 cookies), per the latest tally shared with The Post by Busken Bakery.

The cookie poll will remain open until Election Day on Nov. 5, so the tallies reflect the result of “early voting” by those with a sweet tooth.

I don't believe I have heard of this cookie poll before.

[teeman8r]

i bet 2020 was the year the cookie crumbled...

[rightwingcrazy]

Dead people don’t eat cookies.

[brownsfan]

They’re still somewhat sane in Cincy. Try that in Cleveland and the result will be different.

[Hoboto]

That first sentence of the article should forfeit his journalism street cred. LOL....

[napscoordinator]

My thought too.

"You don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati!"

The only result it’s missed was last year’s victory by Democrat Joe Biden.(?)

What Was in the Walter Mondale cookie in 1984?

“You don’t live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati!”

A classic!

Give yourself a cookie. The 2020 results were:
Trump 24,811
Biden 17,579
Other 9,797

Just like 17 of 18 bellwether counties that always voted for the winner for decades until 2020.

[Toespi]

Yeah, yeah……until 2020 no candidate had ever won the presidency without winning Ohio. Biden lost Ohio.

Only question is who’s worse: The Browns or The Bengals this year.

[teeman8r]

i wonder why that is?

[brownsfan]

“Only question is who’s worse: The Browns or The Bengals this year.”

Oh, the Browns by a long shot. The Browns owner is a meddling creep, and their prized QB is a washed up pervert. Add in a bunch of injuries and a head coach that I’m still not convinced is all that good, and you get the Cleveland 5-12’s. That should be their name, because it’s the record they usually produce.

Yeah, I’m a bitter ex fan.

[LibertyOh]

You are correct. 2020 is the only election the cookie winner didn’t win the election, though as pointed out in the article, Trump did win the bellwether state of Ohio.

[MNDude]

They didn’t poll the ballot counters in 2020

[evangmlw]

Didn’t figure the Democrat fraud buckets.
