Election fever has hit New Jersey 7-Eleven locations in the form of a coffee cup.

For the month of October, 7-Eleven is featuring two large coffee cups at stores across the nation dedicated to the two leading candidates in the presidential race.

President Obama's adorns the blue cups and GOP hopeful Mitt Romney's name is on the red cups. Red state, blue state -- get it.

People can go to www.7-eleven.com to see the current results in all the participating towns and states.

In New Jersey, 55% of the cups purchased have been blue and 45% red. The national numbers favor President Obama, with 60% of the cups purchased being and 40% red.

Here in Hudson County, the "7-Election" includes participating stores in Bayonne and Jersey City.

Bayonne has sold 62% Obama cups and 38% Romney cups. Jersey City has similar numbers, selling 61% Obama cups and 39% Romney cups during the event.

The Journal Square store has sold 383 blue cups and 279 red cups over the past four weeks.

Franchisee Ashok Lalan, who plans to vote for President Obama, has noticed people getting into the competition.

"It's a fun thing, but sometimes people take it really seriously," Lalan said. "Somebody came in once, grabbed a Romney cup and hid it before they left the store."

Ed Hogan, a regular customer, stopped by early in the afternoon to grab his mid-day coffee and made it clear where his allegiances are for upcoming election.

"I picked the Obama cup because I intend to vote for Mr. President," Hogan said.

This is the fourth time "7-Election" has taken place leading up to the presidential election.

"The unabashedly unscientific and just-for-fun poll has correctly predicted the presidential election for the past three election cycles – 2000, 2004 and 2008, based on customer purchases of these blue and red cups," said Laura Gordon, VP of Brand Innovation.

If the current numbers are any indication, President Obama is looking at another four years in office.
