My matches for US President
USA Today has a survey where you can try and match which US presidential candidate is closest to you.
Like all surveys like this, it has flaws with multi-choice answers. For example on the issue of same sex marriage there was no option for supporting same sex marriage, but not regarding it as a constitutional right.
Anyway my closest match was Bobby Jindal on 62%. That’s pretty low for a closest match, which reflects how there are very few candidates who are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. The full list of matches for me is:
- Bobby Jindal 62%
- Chris Christie 54%
- Jeb Bush 46%
- Marco Rubio 46%
- George Pataki 38%
- Lindsay Graham 38%
- John Kasich 38%
- Carly Fiorina 31%
- Ben Carson 31%
- Rand Paul 31%
- Jim Gilmore 31%
- Lincoln Chafee 31%
- Martin O’Malley 31%
- Bernie Sander 31%
- Hilary Clinton 23%
- Ted Cruz 23%
- Mick Huckabee 23%
- Jim Webb 15%
- Donald Trump 15%
- Rick Santorum 8%
I’m so happy I live in New Zealand!
