The Political Compass

I seriously doubt GW took this test.  Where the test writter put him, and many other historical figures, on the chart is probably his "best guess" or wishfull thinking.

His placement of American politicians isn't even remotely close to where they would be if they actually took this test. That much is obvious. Even GW Bush believes in government regulation, and has used protectionist policies with regard to international trade. So he could easily be considered a leftist based on the calibration of this test. He is not a segregationist, so he would probably be a social moderate based on this test.
