The bar's straw poll is predicting Hillary Clinton will win next week's election. American customer, Eileen Tack agrees.

It's...I don't think I'd enjoy that drink. Let's just say that." Harry's New York Bar began conducting it's straw poll of American expatriates in 1924. Since then, it has correctly predicted the winner in 18 of the last 20 presidential elections. Hillary Clinton supporters are hoping the trend will continue next Tuesday.
