Washington Redskins Predict OutCome of Presidential Election since 1936
May 9, 2007
Just as the groundhog’s shadow foretells whether there will be six more weeks of winter, the outcome of the final home game of the Washington Redskins has been as an indicator of which political party would win the presidential election. If the Redskins won their last home game before Election Day, then the current party in power would win the election. If the Redskins lost, the opposing party would take over the White House. Unfortunately, the Redskins’ streak ended in 2004. Although they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 31, George W. Bush was reelected and the Republican Party retained control of the White House.
