POLICY, NOT PERSONALITY
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.

SELECTED ISSUE · Foreign policy
Palestinian statehood & self-determination
Support negotiated Palestinian statehood in principle
Why this placement: Affirms support for a Palestinian state and a democratic two-state solution.

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. Conflicting or incomplete evidence stays qualified or unrated. No cross-issue total is calculated. Rubric v1.
