Voters aren’t always honest. But what would it look like if they were? We found out.

Here’s how we got respondents to be honest. We asked them to indicate on a 0-5 scale how much they would like each candidate to be elected president—regardless of the candidate’s actual likelihood of being elected. (We’ll talk about actual score voting in a later release.)

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi doesn't like that the media reported on the DNC and Podesta email hacks and went so far Friday as to say members of the press were accomplices in what she calls Russia's attempt to influence US elections.

During a "press conference" Monday morning, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said it was clear that the ODNI report on the hacking of the DNC and former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign chief John Podesta was clearly politicized. He added that the report was "quite embarrassing to the reputations of the US intelligence services."

2016 was a year of political surprises in which the inaccuracy of pollsters proved that we are living in a changing world. In June, to everyone’s surprise, the UK voted to exit the European Union. Before the vote, virtually none of the major polls predicted that “leave” would win.

This week, Forbes shocked readers with the observation that legal marijuana sales in the United States for 2016 were larger -- and growing at a faster pace -- than the dot-com boom of the early 2000s.

On Friday morning, House Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) office sent six security guards to block the delivery of 87,000 petitions asking Ryan not to defund Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood volunteers lined up to deliver the petitions to Ryan, but were met with security guards aiming to prevent the delivery. The group was instead welcomed by representative Gwen Moore (D-Wis.).

In the wake of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer vowing to fight Trump "tooth and nail" on confirmation hearings, Vice President Joe Biden is imploring a different approach: Do your constitutional duty. Biden believes Senate Democrats should not copy the Republicans' tactic of obstructionism and give Trump's Supreme Court nominee a hearing and a vote.
