Isidewith.com - anyone else do the survey ???

This is a web site that does a survey on 12-14 issues (including an importance rating) and from that creates an assessment of how much your position aligns with each candidate - R and D. After you take the survey it it will give you a list that says something like...

"O'Malley - 99%, Cruz - 94%, Clinton - 88%, Huckabee - 87%...etc". Note I purposefully picked those to be sure this isn't about any particular candidate. Can you imagine a set of responses that could have you in 88% agreement with Clinton AND 87% agreement wit the Huckster ?

It's floating around FB although I seem recall seeing it in the past.

Anyone have any experience with it? Is it real?

Seems like an interesting way to create a non-personality based ranking but I'm sure there a lot of ways to scam the algorithm, especially since one of the questions flat out asks "who do you support". Just from a research perspective I suspect that's in there to see how much spread exists between "issues based" support and real support.

I ask because my results surprised me a little and I'm wondering if I should dig into that or just blow it off because the site/approach is a manipulated crock.

1. I'm not too sure about it's accuracy.

Sanders 99%, Clinton 95%, Biden 89%, O'Malley 78%, Kasich 28%, Christie 19%, Huckabee 16%, Paul 13%, Trump 12%,
Jindal 10%, Bush 10%, Graham 8%, Walker 4%, Cruz 1%, Rubio 1%, Santorum 1%, Fiorina 0%

For Martin O'Malley the non-matches were all things for which they couldn't determine his stance.

If you drill down there are some odd things.

For example: Huckabee is shown as supporting equal pay. I'm skeptical of that. And Biden is shown as being pro-life. That can't be right, can it?

2. That's some of the stuff that I was thinking about too.

Make you think how nuts the world would be with a Sanders/Fiorina ticket. lol. If I were bernie in that case, I'd get a food taster and sleep with one eye open.

Thanks.

3. I'm shocked

that anyone, even 1%, sides with Santorum.

4. I think I matched him on some environmental issue.

Protecting national parks or something. But I don't trust what it says about candidates' positions.
