To use the tool, simply type \u201cElection 2016\u201d on the Bing search box or go to bing.com\/elections. The BPI will appear before any search results, allowing you to have easy access to it. It comes with three tabs – \u201cBing Political Index\u201d, \u201cCandidates\u201d, and \u201cTimeline\u201d – and each tab give you comprehensive information about certain aspects of the 2016 election.<\/p>\n
The \u201cBing Political Index\u201d tab, for instance, lets you compare the stances of candidates on top 10 political issues (including abortion, LGBT rights, healthcare, immigration, gun control and education) with those of the average American. You’ll see how progressive or conservative a candidate is and find out if his stance is similar or not with the American public’s opinion.<\/p>\n
The \u201cCandidates\u201d tab also gives insights about the candidates’ political stances, but on an individual basis. Just hover your mouse on the candidate you’d like to know more about, and a page that’s dedicated to him or her will appear. The page has several tabs; if you click on the \u201cIssues\u201d tab, you’ll see the candidate’s stances on the same 10 political issues. You can then compare his or her stances with the U.S. public opinion or with those of another candidate. If you click on the \u201cTrends\u201d tab, you’ll see social media posts that mention the candidate and learn about the top Bing search keywords about him or her.<\/p>\n
The third main tab in the BPI tool is the \u201cTimeline\u201d tab. It features a timeline of general election milestones in the past as well as election-related events that are scheduled to take place in the future.<\/p>\n
Bing strives to provide the most accurate and objective information possible through the BPI tool. To bring it to life, the Bing Predicts Team trawled through terabytes of data (both from Bing searches and social media), while the experts from the non-profit organization Ontheissues.org provided comprehensive candidate analysis. They then used machine learning models to process the data.<\/p>\n
The best thing about the BPI tool is that it’s not static. Bing understands that people’s stances on issues can shift as the elections near, which is why it will update the tool every month. This way, the BPI will reflect the changes in candidate stances and public opinion and provide everyone with relevant, up-to-date info.<\/p>\n
