Do you vote? Do you vote confidently?

In the months leading up to an election, coverage is constant but often shallow: clips, horse-race chatter, and partisan framing. It can be hard to see, side by side, what each candidate actually says about the issues that matter to you.

issuegrid.org is a free public reference that lays out presidential candidates' issue positions in one grid — so you can compare them directly and educate your vote.

How to read the grid

Each row is a candidate. Each column is an issue. The text in a cell is a short summary of that candidate's current stance.

The black number in a cell (for example, 4.5) is an importance rating from 1 to 5: how central that issue appears to be for that candidate, based on emphasis in their record and public messaging. It is not a score of how "correct" the position is.

The goldenrod number in the Integrity column is an overall integrity rating from 1 to 5, reflecting honesty, consistency, follow-through, and accountability — an editorial assessment, not a lab measurement.

Market odds under each candidate's name are a manual snapshot of prediction-market implied probabilities (averaged across major public markets when available). They are a sentiment gauge, not a forecast, and they are labeled with source and date.

You'll also see brief arguments commonly made for and against each candidate.

Blind issue quiz

The quiz asks how much you agree with one clear statement per issue, and how important that issue is to you — without showing candidate names. Each candidate has a stored agreement score on the same statements. Your match percentage weights agreement by the importance you assigned. It is a guide, not a prediction or endorsement.
