Cincinnati "cookie poll" has Donald Trump winning election

The shop's poll has only been wrong once in the past 40 years in predicting the results of the presidential race.

Busken Bakery, with multiple locations in and around Cincinnati, offers cookies featuring the faces of both candidates, along with a third "Cookie Party" option displaying a smiley face. The bakery tracks the sales of each in a tongue-and-cheek effort to predict the winner of the upcoming November election.

The shop has only been wrong once in the last 40 years in predicting the results of the presidential race. The first incorrect prediction came in 2020 when Trump cookies outsold Joe Biden cookies. Similarly, since 1964, Ohio had been voting for the winner of the election overall—until 2020, when Trump won Ohio but lost the election.

Guess we shall see. Never bought a candidate cookie, but they do have a Kettle Danish to die for.
 
I suspect the poll will be wrong again this year.
Busken bakery locations are primarily towards the suburbs and all that goes with it: lot's of white people; relatively conservative, german/irish catholic Cincinnatians, lot's of republicans.
So Trump will likely win the cookie poll again and the cookie will crumble in the election.

Well how do you explain what was the correct Democrat wins?
 
Could be on a losing streak.
 
Well...I remember the "Halloween masks" thing where the more popular presidential candidate Halloween mask has always won the election. It failed in 2020, too.

Also, they've been wrong 1 in 10 times, so there's that. It's not as staggering as it sounds at the outset when you realize the parameters.

But...these things are fun.
 
I'd love to naw down a Trump cookie like a monster but I won't vote for him. It's not exactly a friendly move to devour someone's face.

If Trump wins they'll be foreclosing soon anyway.
 
Ohio has been near the center of American politics for over a century. Unsurprisingly, a local straw poll could be accurate.

That said, I will put no weight on the pronouncement.

I think I would throw up before the cookie reached my mouth.

I like many Busken products - I grew up in Cincinnati - but let's get real: the company ships its products all over the place (possibly the tristate area), including to Dayton. (Yes, we get the cookies, too.)

It seems to me there's no valid way shipments of batches of cookies could be construed in any way as an accurate predictor of an election.

Good point. Busken products (cookies, cakes, breads, etc) are carried up here in Kroger stores located in more upscale, Republican-leaning areas.
