Reliable Sources for Political Coverage

One website that is an absolute haven for political junkies is "Politico". The website is completely devoted to political coverage and features specific categories within the political world such as the 2016 race, the latest updates with the Iran Nuclear Deal, or bills being voted on the House floor. It features news, in-depth analysis articles, and opinion articles. The website features just about any area of politics that you could want to read about.

While there are fewer choices than Politico, CNN is a little less intimidating and overwhelming when it comes to its political coverage. Its main focus is getting political news on the website as quickly as possible rather than a deep focus on the subject. The articles are much shorter and not as detail oriented as Politico but you still get the important details.

RealClearPolitics is another great website to skim when checking out the political headlines of the day. It collects major news headlines from major media sites such as "The New York Times", "The Daily Beast", "The Huffington Post", etc. It also broadcasts the latest poll numbers from major national surveys along with the average of them. The site links you to almost every major news website in the country.

USA Today has a great political website. It has a standard political coverage page with its top articles and allows for people not invested in politics to simply skim the page for the top headlines. If you are very interested in politics you have the choice to see more in-depth by going to the link "OnPolitics". This gives you a wide range of subjects and articles to read with more details and longer articles than the "skim" portion of the website.

CBS News is another great site to get your political news fix. The site features a lot of interviews with politicians and has articles that appeal to the reader. For example it may have a list that allows you to see where your Senator or Congressman stands on certain issues like the Iran Nuclear Deal. It
has many categories to choose from and features a lot of videos for people who may prefer to watch the news rather than read it.
