Now this is a poll I believe and I'll tell you why.

Students across the country vote...

&quot CNN)It may be one week until Election Day, but students across the country have already cast their ballots in a mock election and predicted a winner in the presidential campaign.

The results of two separate national programs -- one the mock election and the other a statistics competition -- placed Hillary Clinton ahead of Donald Trump in the race for the White House.
In a first-of-its-kind contest sponsored by the American Statistical Association, more than 450 high school and college students from 19 states and more than 30 schools set out to predict the winner of this most unprecedented presidential campaign.
Ninety-seven percent of the participants predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the presidency, according to the results announced Tuesday."

The article says she also won in a poll of 300,000 taken on channel one.

I taught for 38 years, we always knew who would win elections in our area by having the kids vote. It never failed.
