Though information on the 2016 election can be found in almost every primary news source, below are the top five sites I use to track and better understand the 2016 elections.

1. politico.com

This is a great resource for tracking stories, featuring each of the presidential campaigns across the country. Continuously updated, this site provides easy-to-read and helpful stories to better understand the political dynamics at play in this election.

2. fivethirtyeight.com

This website provides stories on the candidates, as well as forecasts and polls which are updated throughout the day. This week, they have been analyzing candidates based on weighed endorsement points.

3. realclearpolitics.com

Realclearpolitics.com provides updates and information that is quick and easy to analyze, including poll numbers for all races occurring in 2016. This site gives short and helpful statuses of each of the candidates and their nomination status.

4. nbcnew.com

NBC's election page is very informational, supplying information on the current presidential candidates and their comparative delegate numbers across the nation. NBC also supplies a primaries calendar, and a growing number of videos to keep you up to date.

5. countable.us

This one of my favorite political websites. Though it does not specifically outline the 2016 elections, it provides accessible and important information on candidates and the issues that they support. This site is interactive, in that you can give feedback on how you would vote on certain legislation, and directly contact your representatives in Congress.
