Interesting survey results from MPR.
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 07:55 AM by DarkPhenyx
They have a survey to take which will tell you, as a percentage, how your views match up with all the candidates for President. On a results page they have the percentage matches for Bush, Nader, and Kerry. Kerry is on top with 42%, Bush 33%, and Nader 32%.

The page is displaying kinda screwy for me, so you may have to scroll all the way to the right to see things.

<on edit>

here is the survey link. also displaying screwy

Candidates ranked by average of matches overall
John Kerry - 42%
George Bush - 36%
Ralph Nader - 33%

Total: 111%?

2. I think it's a cumulative average...
...of the % match for all people taking the survey, now that I look at it again. They did say during the report I heard that it was possible to have a personal score of 53% kerry, 45% Bush. 33% Nader. 33% Badnarick, etc...

3. I took the poll. 57% Kerry, 85% Nader, 0% Bush
The total is over 100% because Kerry and Nader have a lot of overlapping issues.

BTW, in spite of his stated policy positions, I think Nader's a creep and I'm voting for Kerry.

5. I took the poll
and was pleasantly suprised that I had 75% John Kerry and 0% George Bush. And I will not post what my score was for Nader because he is a party of himself, by himself and most importantly for himself (and no one else).

7. Kerry 78% Shrub 0! (No surprise there ;-)
I wasn't too surprised to see my Nader results at 64% (I'm pretty Green) but he will NEVER get my vote!
