Your Total Score Versus Hillary Clinton
Overall Matching Score: 55%
You have an acceptable match with Hillary Clinton. You might consider voting for Hillary Clinton if you particularly like his character and background.

Your Subscores Versus Hillary Clinton


Personal Matching Score: 69%
Hillary Clinton matches your views on personal issues well.

Economic Matching Score: 46%
Hillary Clinton poorly matches your views on economic issues.
You agree with Hillary Clinton significantly more on personal issues than on economic issues. You will likely agree with Hillary Clinton on issues like morality, lifestyle, and civil rights, but will not agree as well on issues like taxes, budget, and spending issues.

She rated high on my score too, just below a couple of right wing Republicans. Maybe I should re think my attitudes on her.

It's interesting that no one has landed squarely in the moderate category.

Yeah I thought the same thing. There's a lot of spin out there that Hillary Clinton would be basically a Republican in office with a Democrat label. Makes me wonder how much of that is spin?

Because, despite what people claim, nobody is a real moderate. We all lean one way or another.

I just tried it again attempting to get a moderate result, you have to do no opinion on everything. I know the site says to take it with a grain of salt, but it's not very useful. Still fun though.

These tests are always slightly odd for me, being British, as Americans talk a lot about issues that we consider irrelevant, and ignore issues that are very important to us.
I also find with these things, that they always put me kind of in the middle, but that's not because I give "in the middle" answers. It's because I strongly support some "liberal" as you call them (silly Americans, don't even know what Liberal means), policies, and strongly support some "conservative" policies.
Nevertheless, I think this position is approximately what I am, though I'd count myself more left (because most of the things I strongly support that you'd consider right-wing are not really ever talked about in the UK).

Apparently, my answers most closely match a Democrat called Joe Biden, and then Obama next, then most of the rest of the democrats. Though all the democrats seem pro-affirmitive action, pro-abortion, and anti-free trade, the opposite of me.
