This webquest is designed for students to analyze the arguments of the major candidates for president, interpret polling data that shows public attitudes towards their positions, and conclude who has the best chance of winning the election.

1. Students will visit websites and view clips/podcasts in order to compare and contrast candidate's views. 2. Students will study electoral trends and use that information in their analysis. 3. Students will investigate poll specifics to determine their reliability
