To Tell You who To Vote For. . .
The Candidate Match Game.

LINK to Quiz
Candidate match game
About the game
Polls suggest Americans are concerned primarily with a few key issues in the 2008 presidential election. USA TODAY researched candidate positions on those top issues — Iraq, immigration and health care — as well as a few others that may influence the election. We then came up with 11 multiple-choice questions that would help differentiate the candidates and their stances.
As you answer the questions, you can roll over each color bar below the candidates' heads to find background on their positions. Your answers are matched with the positions of the presidential hopefuls to reveal the candidate (or candidates) closest to your views. The sliders on the right allow you to assign relative weights to match the importance that you place on each issue.
USA TODAY welcomes your feedback. Let us know in the comments below how you fared, which candidate aligns with you and how you liked the game.


Personally it came up for me to vote for Mike Gravel.

I don't even know who that is, lol. I looked all over the link you posted for the actual game and I couldn't find it.

It says BEGIN the Quiz on the left hand side, under the paragraph about the game.

Find it Segep, I wonder who will be your candidate.

Me, I am voting for Obama just the same.

Well, three names came up, and the third one blows me away:

1. Dennis Kucinich
2. Ron Paul
3. Hillary Clinton

On the second try, all GOP's:

1. Mitt Romney
2. Ron Paul (still)
3. Duncan Hunter

And I outpolled all of the candidates, too, on both tries.

Oh yes, three choices come up. I just refuse to vote Republican at all this time around. Fact??? I have always voted Republican!

It was not me voting my conscience. Well I am embarrassed to admit this, but heck...I voted to echo the vote of my husband as an act of submission, per "wives submit to your husbands"...

What a crock I use to live by!

You'd be surprised to hear many people, including some on this board, think that the name Huckabee is a rather-cornyish sounding name.

Try Politics, polls and candidate information Register, then enter your position on the issues. After that you can see what percentage of agreement you have with the various candidates. I found out that I will be voting Republican. That will not be because of the party name but because of the issues. The Democrat I most agree with is Hillary Clinton with a score of 24.16%. The rest of the Democrats scored lower. The Republican I least agree with is Rudy Guiliani with a score of 66.85%. The rest of the Republicans scored higher. Whoever the Republican candidate is in November, I will vote for (easy choice).
