(CNN) -- With national polls and polls in many of the battleground states essentially tied just days before November 6, the winner of the presidential election is anybody's guess. So, by the numbers, here's a look at some offbeat predictors of presidential elections:
62.1 - Percent of sales of the President Obama "Chia" planter, as of October 23.
37.1 - Percent of sales of the Mitt Romney "Chia" planter as of October 23.
80 (4 out of 5) - Percent of Family Circle magazine Presidential Cookie Bake-off winners who became first lady after her husband won the election. (Cindy McCain was the one winner who was a loser.)
54 - Percent of the recipes in the Family Circle Presidential Cookie Bake-offs that include chocolate chips.
