Take the 3 min test to see which candidate mirrors your views

[strollingbones]

I side with Bernie Sanders on 95% of issues in the 2016 Presidential election

Interesting results. More people making pragmatic decisions, like Bernie

 

[Preacher]

Trump with 80% which is who I am backing and already voted for. Sanders comes in 5th with 57% which is bout right...like the guy on a lot of issues.

 

[FA_Q2]

I came out 80 percent Ted Cruz.

The test took a lot more than three minutes because I chose to answer all the extra questions.

I don't know how such a poll could determine what percentage Trump you are, unless you are a person who never says the same thing twice and were a far left Democrat nine months ago.

did you opt for the more nuanced answers as I did or simply choose the yes or no for all of them

I chose the more nuanced answers. I also chose to answer the extra questions. You can take a short version of the poll, or you can take a much longer version. I took the longer version.

I clicked on all of these ^

I took them both - short form first and long form second. It makes a difference in the overall result. Considering that my percentage for Johnson did not budge an inch but everyone else dropped it makes me think that the short form is very biased to the standard candidates. More than likely because of what is in the news and what the candidates respond to as well as the questions that are asked. I would note that many of the questions were also somewhat difficult to answer as there really was not a good selection. Something that will always be an issue with a multiple choice answer to very complex and nuanced concepts.

More interesting IMHO is the political themes portion. It was more accurate than I would have thought.
