Our Mission
At Politik Points, we aim to facilitate an enlightening discovery process as you delve into candidates' positions. We offer data-driven analysis to inform your perspectives without seeking to replace them.
Our Politik Point scores provide an objective snapshot of a politician's track record. However, it is crucial to consider numerous other factors when deciding whom to support. Voters should undertake additional research on the issues and stances that are important to them.
No solitary metric or ideology can perfectly determine a leader's suitability to govern. Our aim is to foster thoughtful contemplation, enabling you to evaluate leaders from diverse perspectives.
Our objective is to ignite an inquisitive pursuit of facts. We provide rigorous and impartial information, empowering you to think critically and determine what matters most. Consider our scores as a starting point, rather than a final verdict. The journey of democracy is one that we embark upon together.

June 2023Spotlight: President's Score Stalled
The President’s Politic Points total has remained flat at 65 this week, despite passage of a major infrastructure spending package. Our analysis shows the bill’s bipartisan appeal was offset by concerns over its impact on inflation and the deficit. The President has gained points for economic initiatives this year, but will need to maintain party unity heading into the midterms to maintain his score.
