United States issue spectrum
Each number describes a policy position, not how good a politician is. Higher means more of the policy named on that scale. Scores are editorial interpretations, not scientific measurements. Israel and Palestine are independent axes.

Method: use attributable votes, enacted measures, statements or a candidate’s own platform; identify source type and date; map the stated policy to the nearest defined step. Primary sources take priority. A supported interval is shown as a range, with no invented midpoint. Reviewed sources that do not establish the position are labeled “Not established”; this is not a finding that the politician has no position. No cross-issue total is calculated. Rubric v1.
