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:

1. Bobby Jindal 62%
2. Chris Christie 54%
3. Jeb Bush 46%
4. Marco Rubio 46%
5. George Pataki 38%
6. Lindsay Graham 38%
7. John Kasich 38%
8. Carly Fiorina 31%
9. Ben Carson 31%
10. Rand Paul 31%
11. Jim Gilmore 31%
12. Lincoln Chafee 31%
13. Martin O’Malley 31%
14. Bernie Sander 31%
15. Hilary Clinton 23%
16. Ted Cruz 23%
17. Mick Huckabee 23%
18. Jim Webb 15%
19. Donald Trump 15%
20. Rick Santorum 8%

I’m so happy I live in New Zealand!
