Nickelodeon's eerily accurate kids' poll picks the next president
The children have spoken and if history is any indicator, they may have predicted our next president.
In the Nickelodeon "Kids Pick the President" poll, Hillary Clinton won with 53 percent of the vote. Donald Trump came in with 36 percent and third-party candidate Gary Johnson picked up 11 percent of the votes.
More than 905,000 children participated in the online poll that ran from Oct. 28 through Saturday.
