About the game

USA TODAY researched candidate positions on a range of top issues. We then devised questions that help differentiate the candidates and their stances.

As you answer the questions, you can roll over the colored segments to find background on their positions. Your answers are matched with the positions of the presidential hopefuls to reveal who is closest to your views. The sliders allow you to assign relative weights to match the importance that you place on each issue.

USA TODAY welcomes your feedback. Let us know in the comments area below how you fared, which candidate aligns with you and how you liked the game.
