Another political quiz site

There is a site called isidewith.com that enables you to take a quiz to see which candidate you most match. You can take their quiz at http://www.isidewith.com/presidential-election-quiz if you want. I took the quiz yesterday, and the results I got were partly expected and partly surprising.

As expected, I side with Mitt Romney on most issues in the 2012 Presidential Election. The match percentages with candidates were:

76% with Mitt Romney, on immigration, healthcare, foreign policy, and domestic policy issues.

72% with Barack Obama, on social, science, foreign policy, and healthcare issues.

61% with Jill Stein, on science, domestic policy, and economic issues.

55% with Ron Paul, on immigration and social issues.

51% with Jimmy McMillan, on immigration and social issues.

46% with Gary Johnson, on social issues.

33% with Virgil Goode, on immigration issues.

27% with Stewart Alexander, on social issues.

I must say, I had never heard of Stewart Alexander, though I found out in a search that he is the Socialist candidate; no great surprise that he had the lowest match percentage with me. But the biggest surprise was that I had a bigger match percentage with Barack Obama than with any of the third-party candidates!

There were also two other figures the site gave me: My match percentages were:

62% with Maryland Voters, on science, social, and immigration issues, and

66% with American Voters, on social, science, and immigration issues. The fact that my figures in the latter two were so high means that I think I can fairly characterize myself as a moderate, as I have in the past.
