Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly serve as sources of information for citizens, yet the methods used to assess their political biases suffer from significant conceptual flaws. Introducing a framework for auditing political and ideological biases, I systematically measure the quality and directionality of AI-generated political recommendations. The paper tests frontier models with diverse voter profiles, including fully aligned partisans, cross-pressured users with conflicting policy preferences, and scenarios where users say they „dislike all parties equally“.
