Obama vs. Romney: Who's Your Best Match?
In Georgia, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is leading so far, followed by the current president, then the GOP nominee.
A new website launched earlier this year to help voters match up with their ideal candidate, and it's quickly gaining popularity through social media channels. In fact, according to iSideWith.com's homepage, more than a million people have taken the free quiz to assist in determining their presidential choice since it launched earlier this year.
The quiz covers everything from social issues to foreign policy, and answers can be fine tuned: You can choose general or more detailed responses, and a scale allows you to set the level of importance for each issue. Your responses are then analyzed to determine your ideal candidate, complete with a breakdown of your response matches.
Among the people who took the quiz in Georgia, their positions matched Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson's 51 percent of the time—more than any other candidate. Next was President Obama with 48 percent, then Republican nominee Mitt Romney with 44 percent, then Green Party hopeful Jill Stein with 37 percent, and so on.
Seems to be a pretty handy tool, but does it work? You tell us. Take the free quiz on iSideWith.com and let us know what you think. Is the candidate it matched with you the candidate you plan to vote for?

If our views match positions of one candidate but we As a country end up voting for another then I guess we are brain washed and deserve our next president.

If only those 51% would actually vote for Johnson, then there might actually be some hope for the future. How long will most people continue to vote for the evil of 2 lessers?

Chris: Until our system changes, people will do tactical voting whenever it's close.
We need to have a referendum to (1) Disallow multi-state parties - allow coalitions instead (2) Disallow cross-state sharing of campaign funds (3) Replace winner-takes-all voting with "approval voting"
