You may know us for our fact-checking, but one signature project of PolitiFact is our promise tracking! PolitiFact tracks campaign promises in order to inform readers how well elected officials carry out their agenda. On July 16, we unveiled updates on the Trump-O-Meter, our measure for tracking 100 promises President Donald Trump made during his 2016 campaign. We tracked President Barack Obama's promises when he was in office, too. For each campaign promise, our writers heavily research the issue and then rate it based on how the administration performed: Promise Kept, Promise Broken, Compromise, Stalled, In the Works or Not Yet Rated. We rate the president not on intentions or effort, but on verifiable outcomes. For more information on how we track campaign promises, read here.

Ask Editor-In-Chief Angie Holan anything - What are your questions about the Trump-O-Meter?
