No. As per Betteridge's law of headlines [1].
Joking aside, while the article has some content, the headline is definitely tending way to much towards click-bating.

- gaur 10y ago> Who will win the US presidential election? > No. I have no idea why people insist on quoting an obviously nonsensical formulation of this aphorism. It clearly can only be applied to headlines phrased with yes-no questions, so saying it applies to "any headline that ends in a question mark" is false.
