US Electoral Compass is a data-visualisation tool showing which policy areas are most discussed in the race for the 2012 presidency. The tool tracks & ranks top issues by state, by candidate and by media (twitter or press) so the user can compare the political buzz around the policies for Obama and Romney and the variations in coverage each candidate is attracting on both Twitter and in the local press up until election day. Data has been aggregated and analysed since the beginning of July 2012.
