So does it mean that many of you here will be voting for Mr. Gary Johnson?

No they will be dumb and vote Trump. I'd rather have Johnson over Trump any day of the week.

I did actually, and the parts of the country that I'm closest to scared me a little bit. They are not places with good government or places I would desire to live. Maybe I need to rethink my political beliefs.

I'm actually surprised I scored so low with Trump. Then again, they only present a specific set of issues. There are other issues not in the survey that I feel strongly about. I would also never vote for Hillary so Gary Johnson would move up a notch. And Sanders will lose a lot of my respect if he endorses Clinton.

This quiz is absolutely meaningless with regards to Trump. He changes his position on everything under the sun DAILY!

Everyone else is far to the left on most issues!

Not Johnson, IMO. Very much a right-wing ideology, with at least the understanding the government has no place controlling people's lives, so long as it hurts nobody else.

The constitution party, very right-wing is on there for party-only, no candidate though.

To be fair though Clinton also flip flops. They both do and it's bad.

He will have to endorse Clinton if he wants to keep his Superdelegate status if he's not the nominee himself.

I ran it 3 times with minimal changes each time and got somewhat different results.

Although it did list Centrist for all three.

1st time I didn't bother with the importance factor, but answered all the questions.

Results:

Sanders 81%
Jill Stein 80%
Hillary Clinton 76%
Gary Johnson 73%
Donald Trump 64%

2nd time I adjusted for importance and answered all the questions.

Results:

Gary Johnson 76%
Bernie Sanders 75%
Hillary Clinton 73%
Jill Stein 73%
Donald Trump 68%

3rd time I just answered my most important questions and marked them as such.

Results:

Gary Johnson 79%
Bernie Sanders 77%
Jill Stein 73%
Hillary Clinton 66%
Donald Trump 60%

Then when I scrolled down to "the support for my political beliefs" map the only consistent results were Colorado Springs & Wyoming staying red (stronger support) throughout.

The first two times Idaho was completely red, but on the 3rd was part yellow (somewhat strong) & part green (average).

Columbus went from red in the 1st two results to light blue (somewhat weaker) by the 3rd. I looked up a few other places I've called home and they were all over the map.

Also the map had the widest range of locations of support on the 3rd attempt over the other two.

Conclusions...who knows?

Edit: Repeated 2nd attempt (answering all question & marking level of importance) with the results:

Gary Johnson 86%
Bernie Sanders 76%
Jill Stein 74%
Hillary Clinton 73%
Donald Trump 58%

This time it said moderately Libertarian not Centrist.

Southern Idaho went back to red with the rest being green. Colorado went to green. Wyoming stayed red. Several dark blue (weakest support) lightened and the yellow disappeared from the map altogether.
