BEST 11 POLITICAL WEBSITES
Americans are required to cast ballots for the next president of the political website in the United States every four years. Votes and electoral votes will be counted in November, after which a winner will be declared. You get to decide who is a better candidate—Senator John McCain (R-AZ) or Senator Barack Obama (D-IL).
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 126 million people cast ballots in the 2004 election, setting a record high for a presidential year. Hopefully, the 2008 election will set a new record. We shouldn’t decide who will be the next president lightly. (Hey, we only have this opportunity once every four years!) To make the best choice, it is essential that we first educate ourselves about both candidates. Fortunately, the Internet is filled with a wealth of information that may help you make decisions.
Of course, no one has the time to read them all, so we looked for the top 20 political websites that provide information on candidates, national surveys, party advertising, speeches, and more. Make sure to do your research and vote in November! — Tests & Polls
