5th grade pollsters

Yesterday, my 5th graders took a poll of the whole K-8 school to see whom they would vote for on Election Day. As it turns out, our poll of Spruce Hill accurately predicted the results of Philadelphia!! The latest figures from today showed that Obama won 83% of the votes in Philly--exactly the number we had him winning! McCain won 17% of the Philadelphia vote, while he won 14% of our school ("other" got the remaining 3%). Maybe CNN will visit our school next time they want to predict an election winner...
