Since 1984, the bakery claims the winner of their cookie poll has matched the winner of the popular vote.
"So far, President Trump has a very large lead of 2,576 cookies to 696 for Joe Biden," said Bill Hanisch. "So, I'll tell you, in the 25 years I've been here, I've never seen it like this."
WCCO viewers voted Hanisch Bakery as both the Best Bakery in Minnesota and as having the Best Donuts in Minnesota.
