About these scores

These are third-party academic estimates of one left–right dimension, computed by researchers from roll-call votes or campaign donors. They are not Poliscope’s judgment. Each source uses its own scale, so compare people within a source rather than across sources.

How this works

AI-assisted reading of the cited public record; answers the same questions as the Poliscope Compass. Record and statements are shown separately and never averaged.

Statements: their own words in platforms, questionnaires, campaign sites, messaging and quotes reported in news.
Fainter marks carry lower confidence.

Statements: method record-reading-v1 · prompt compass-person-placement-v3 · 4 items read · Oct 23, 2026 · Reviewed
