"I Side With" Presidential Candidate Poll

[Schildog]

100% santorum and cruz.

[Blarg]

I feel pretty good about maxing out at 66%. It means no one platform represents what I feel is a fair and balanced government. All you guys at 90% are either sheeple or whack jobs.

[JAHV76]

I like Bobby Jindal but I don't think he will be a popular vote.

[Blarg]

It appears that the Bernie Saunders for president campaign paid for the poll judging by the outcome.

And Shilldog is not just a whackjob but probably dangerous if allowed out in public.

Your stance on guns really f*cks up the algorithm.

I think when you choose from "other positions" those are directly attributable to one of the candidates and carry more weight. If you stick to the yes/no answers I think you get a more accurate reading.

[wopphil]

My splits are odd too, because I favor gun control, military reduction and the Affordable Care Act, but I stand on the Republican side on issues like immigration (not giving illegals access to government programs, doing away with "anchor babies", etc.) and I am pro-life.

Funny, I am similar on most of these issues (though more pro choice than pro life), but Rubio came up as my most similar candidate.

[Angelsjunky]

I think when you choose from "other positions" those are directly attributable to one of the candidates and carry more weight. If you stick to the yes/no answers I think you get a more accurate reading.

 

But sticking to yes/no takes out any nuance. For example, I don't like Obamacare, but I do support a single-payer system (that is, truly universal health care even if it greatly increases taxes).

Do you know when the last time was that we beat Japan at anything?

[Mark68]

I wasn't all that surprised:

 

Sanders - 98%

On economic, domestic, environmental, and foreign policies, social, immigration, healthcare, and education issues

 

Clinton - 85%

On domestic & foreign policy, social, healthcare, immigration, and healthcare issues

 

O'Malley - 73%

On domestic policy, economic, social, healthcare, & immigration issues

 

Huckabee - 36%

On healthcare issues (interesting)

 

Christie - 27%

On environmental & healthcare issues (really?)

 

Paul - 25%

On foreign policy issues (not surprising)

 

Bush - 16%

On environmental issues (huh?)

 

Carson - 12%

 

Walker - 10%

 

Santorum - 9%

 

Cruz & Perry - 7%

 

Graham - 5%

 

Fiorina - 4%

 

Rubio - 3 %

 

I find it absolutely astounding that I agree with Santorum, Cruz, & Perry on anything.

[Mark68]

But sticking to yes/no takes out any nuance. For example, I don't like Obamacare, but I do support a single-payer system (that is, truly universal health care even if it greatly increases taxes).

So does Sanders (although he is strongly "Medicare for all").

I think where this poll is different is that you can answer more questions (to point to specifics), but also how important they are to you personally.

[Angelsjunky]

Yes, which is essentially the same thing - at least for care received.

 

We must be the only developed country that doesn't have some semblance of universal health care. I know, Obamacare - but people still have to pay a huge sum to get it, plus the care options are limited. It is better than what we had, but let's not rest on our laurels.

A system like Canada's would have been pretty much dead on. I never had to worry about medical expenses for my grandparents. Our profit-driven system with everything dictated by companies with a profit motive is disgraceful, but I don't know that I will see a complete departure from it in my lifetime.

[TobiasFunke]

Was listening to the Hannity show today. When they played the speech Christie said today after he announced his run for presidency (which was actually really good), some Republican dude was bashing Christie big time and of course Hannity not defending Christie at all.

Why the hell do Republicans hate the guy so much? He's your best chance at winning the presidency TBO.

If they weren't on complete opposite sides of the Union spectrum I would love for them to run and prez/vice prez.

Rubio/Fiorina '16

[halobob]

Rubio and Paul top 2, agree with economics most.  Sanders and O'Malley bottom 2, only agree with Sanders on social issues.  All I care about is lowering taxes because no matter who is in charge they don't spend the money wisely anyway. Too bad most candidates who want to lower taxes and fix America economically are socially inept which will greatly hurt their chances of election because it seems most Americans these days care about social issues much more than economic issues.  

[TobiasFunke]

I think Americans think highly of economic issues, it's just hard to trust a president saying we need to spend less and then right afterwards say things like expand the military.
