At the Busken Bakery, the cookies have the answer. While respected pollsters work on the assumption that Americans choose presidents with their heads, the Busken Bakery thinks they vote with their stomachs.
The bakery chain based here has rolled out its tasty cookie poll every four years since 1992, correctly predicting the outcome of all five presidential elections since then.
