Clinton takes strong lead in straw poll (Guam)
Democrat Hillary Clinton is leading Republican Donald Trump in the presidential straw poll.
With 67 of 67 precincts reporting, Clinton had received 71.63 percent of the vote. Trump received 24.16 percent, and Socialist candidate Emidio Soltysik received 4.22 percent.
Of course, Guam's results are meaningless — the island has no members of the Electoral College.
While the result of the Guam election has no bearing on the national election, it may be an indicator of how the rest of the country will vote. Residents here have correctly chosen the winner of each presidential race since 1980, when the first straw poll for president was conducted.
The predictive ability of the island was upset in 1996, when an election-day typhoon delayed voting. America had already selected Bill Clinton as president before islanders went to the polls.
