This is a quiz where you answer questions about domestic and foreign policy issues, and are matched with the presidential candidate who comes closest to your views. It includes third-party candidates. It does not require any identifying information from you.

SideWith.com was started in March 2012 by two friends with two very different views of politics. Our goal is to save users time by providing an accurate and updated breakdown of which candidates they side with on the issues. We aim to educate voters and to boost voter turnout this election season.

Taylor runs the editorial, research, and promotional aspects of the site. He is a marketing consultant and self described politics "crackhead" who needs political news to sustain daily life.
Nick Boutelier

Nick is the web designer and programmer. A lifelong undecided voter, Nick was searching for an easier way to stay updated on the issues and candidates he sides with.
