The 2008 Presidential Election is almost here, and for the past year, over 100,000 SodaHeads have cast their votes online for the candidate they want to see in the White House. Those same SodaHeads have also voted on a diverse selection of other polls from the basics like age, gender and smoking preference to political topics like gay marriage, opinions on Bush and whether 9/11 was a conspiracy, to music, movies and everything in between. We here at SodaHead HQ have tallied those votes and matched them with the McCain vs. Obama poll to give you a complete digest of just who is voting for McCain and who is voting for Obama.
SodaHead's election polling has accurately reflected the nation's sentiment, and now SodaHead first predicted a McCain surge when he edged out Obama in (Oct. 12-18) results and now shows McCain with another strong weekly showing.
