The latest poll pointing to a presidential winner is admittedly unscientific, but it has a pretty good track record, nevertheless.Halloween mask sales indicate that President Barack Obama is the clear frontrunner as the countdown to the election winds down, CNN reports.

Spirit Halloween, which is the country's largest seasonal Halloween retailer, says the mask of the president's face has been outselling Republican challengerMitt Romney's by a margin of 60 percent to 40 percent.

The retailer has correctly predicted the outcome of every presidential election since 1996, based on the mask sales.
