NEW BERLIN, WI – October 26, 2012 – With less than two weeks until the presidential election, BuyCostumes.com candidate mask sales are tied, reporting a divided consensus. It’s “neck and neck” between current incumbent, Barack Obama (50%) and his opposition, Mitt Romney (50%). And if you look at the electoral college, the state by state poll has Romney leading with 234 votes to Obama’s 228. Since 2000, BuyCostumes.com has used the sales of candidate masks to achieve 100% accuracy in determining the outcome of presidential elections. And according to CEO, Daniel Haight, “this year will be no exception.”
In fact, after the October 11th vice presidential debate, what seemed like a strong lead for Obama (who held 64% of the votes until then), had suddenly turned. Mitt Romney mask sales have built huge momentum and saw a 145% increase in the last two weeks. The question on everyone’s mind is: will this momentum continue? Earlier in October, BuyCostumes.com reported Obama leading in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio, whereas today, all have turned in favor of Mitt Romeny. Furthermore, sales numbers indicate that vice presidential candidate, Paul Ryan is helping Romney in more ways that Joe Biden is helping Obama. Ryan mask sales account for 22% of total mask sales this month, while Biden only accounts for 17%. These statistics are leaving some to wonder whether the current administration still has what it takes to change voters’ minds?
The company’s site features an interactive map of the United States, indicating the mask sales for each state. For every costume mask sold, Republicans and Democrats increase their candidate’s odds of occupying the White House.
BuyCostumes.com will be tracking the outcome of the election through all candidates’ mask sales at http://www.BuyCostumes.com/PresidentialMaskPoll.
