Category: Fact Checks

Voters tend to send the more truthful candidate to the US Senate. On average, winners perform better on PolitiFact checks than losers, incumbents better than challengers. But that may be changing.

Every four years Iffy.news compiles PolitiFact-checks (with permission) to rate the veracity of political people. We convert their fact-checks into credibility scores, comparing pols, pundits, PACS, and parties

This last of a three-parter compares the PolitiFact credibility of groups making political claims. The most truthful: comedians. The least: social media.

Part two of the series, that turns PolitiFact-checks into credibility scores, calculates the truth ratings of people in the past three presidential administrations.

Using PolitiFact-checks, we can compare the credibility of candidates and determine, from past elections, if voters tend to pick the more truthful candidate. (They do.)
