ViewsHub Launches Rolling Survey for US Election

Workplace feedback platform ViewsHub has launched a real-time, rolling performance survey that allows users to rate each of the candidates running for President and Vice President in November's US election.

The survey, which will run from now until polling day, deploys the platform's technology to enable members of the public to rate the performance and character traits of each candidate. Performance is measured against an 'Uber-style', five-star rating, based on six performance measures, including 'ability to get things done' and 'capacity to adapt to changing circumstances'.

The technology also measures users' perceptions of each of the candidates' character traits across three categories: 'energy' (how they work); 'interpersonal' (how they interact); and 'intelligence' (how they think). Within each of these categories, users are asked to rate, on a sliding scale, each character's traits - for example, a scale with 'self-centred' at one end, and 'selfless' at the other.

Commenting on the launch, founder and CEO Ab Banerjee (pictured) says: 'Quantifying performance and character are critical for voters to assess how the candidates stack up. Our technology gives respondents the opportunity to properly express themselves and their feelings toward the different candidates. It will be fascinating to see how voters' perceptions of the different candidates change over the next two months or whether people have already made up their minds and if their views remain constant'.
