Best presidential preferential poll yet. Which candidate do you agree with.

[cyclezealot]

This poll rates a candidates positions to yours. Mike Gravel, we were a perfect match. Clinton only 50%. Don't let rating organizations compare a candidates to their views. Why not compare that candidate to your position.

We have not been properly represented in Washington for generations

[Madam Mossfern]

2. I had a perfect match with Gravel too.

I know practically nothing about him. I don't like this poll very much, there were too many questions that I had to fudge because it over simplified. Have you tried http://www.glassbooth.com?

[Perky]

7. There are also meta-issues this poll does not factor in

For instance:


I want a candidate who can change the way Washingto works

I want a candidate with vision

I want a new generation of leadership
I want one that inspires.

Those are issues as equal or more important than any single issues or this laundry list.,

THe list is also too short One question on education? no question on three strikes?...the wiretapping question is squirrely.. (I oppose illegal wiretapping, not all wiretapping)

[demnan]

10. Let me tell you a little bit about Gravel

The man is a hero. A Senator from Alaska in the late 60's early 70's he fillibustered against the Vietnam war in the Senate.

He lives in Arlington, Virginia now. Sometimes people on this board dis Gravel and it makes me really angry, I wish we had someone half as courageous in the Senate today.

[PatSeg]

15. He is truly an American hero

who gets little credit for what he did years ago. He may come across as a grumpy old man today, but his accomplishments were history-shaping.

[0007]

16. I agree. I'm tired of the big corporation butt boys running this

country.

America has turned into a police state and big brother society for the sake of greed.

[cyclezealot]

6. charisma, who can win faze me little.

why would I vote for someone who does not fight for My agenda. Gravel 100 %. Kucinich 97%. Hillary only 50%. why should I have any enthusism for Hillary.

[Perky]

8. I want someone who can move my agenda not just fight for it,

Leadership, intellect, charisma are all important consideration.

[cyclezealot]

18. and if their agenda is not mine.

that is not leadership. No thanks. that is an invitation to disappointment.

[cali]

32. 50% is better than any of the repukes. n/t

[Perky]

35. If that it your view you will be dissapointed always.

No President Republican or Democrat van give his base what they want....You would be lucky to get one-quarter of what he "stands for"

It is the nature of politica. and if that is not your cup of tea then perhaps you would also be in favor of the unitary executive theory

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. Kooch 73

only one point of disagreement. Gravel was next at 62.

[demnan]

11. Mine was Kootch 79

Gravel 63 and the other Democrats in the 40s or below.

[Onlooker]

12. Kucinich 65

Gravel 54, Obama 52, Clinton 41, Edwards 39. Romney -56.

Gravel was a real surprise.

[Renew Deal]

13. There's some interesting stuff there.

A lot of people support the death penalty. It's overall negative, but not nearly as negative as other issues. At the same time, there's heavy support for universal health care.

[skipos]

14. There is more to being a good president than just agreeing with me on the issues

but these things can be fun for entertainment.

[penguin7]

24. There is nothing more important than the issues

[skipos]

26. Maybe. I am agree with myself on all the issues, but I would never vote for myself to be president

There is more to being president than being right on the issues.

[cyclezealot]

25. not gonna catch me voting for someone

I mostly disagree with.

[skipos]

27. Not gonna catch me voting for someone who would be a mediocre president

just because I agee with them on the issues.

[cyclezealot]

30. and people like

Sarkozy in France, Romney for all that might be effective. Putin , I guess is effective. Effective is how we grade a president. Right. ? / But, do they leave the country better off.

[skipos]

34. I wouldn't vote for any of those candidates.

There was a better candidate running against Sarkozy, and there will be a better candidate running against Romney.

[cyclezealot]

31. and people like

Sarkozy in France, Romney for all that might be effective. Putin , I guess is effective. Effective is how we grade a president. Right. ? / But, do they leave the country better off.

[youthere]

17. Kucinich Gravel and Biden.

[cyclezealot]

19. Gravel is 100. Kooch 97

pretty close. Hillary is only 50. How could I possibly be happy with her.

[lisainmilo]

20. Wow...I was surprised....Kucinich 75% for me...

:)

[cyclezealot]

21. say we learn we agree with Hillary only plus 50.

a pretty low score. do we still go for her enthustically? A couple Repukes are surprisingly close to her low score. Issues come first.

[FreeState]

28. Kucinich 78/Gravel 77 n/t

[Quixote1818]

37. Kucinich 79 / Gravel 68 nt

[Kucinich4America]

29. Kucinich 90

Not a surprise there. Gravel was next on the list, but after hearing him on the Mike Malloy show a couple months ago, I just can't go there.

[seasat]

33. Gravel 52, Kucinich 49, Richardson 37

Followed by Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Dodd, and Biden.

In other tests that cover a broader range of issues, Richardson usually comes out on top for me followed by Kucinich. This test only covered hot button topics and not more general issues. It didn't seem like that good of a test to me.

[LWolf]

36. Kucinich on top again:

Kucinich 90

Gravel 76

Obama 52

Clinton 42
