Google Trends and the Presidential Election
I’m sure somebody has done this before, but I don’t remember seeing it. I used Google Trends to see how searches for the Democrat and Republican nominee for President stacked up in the first ten months of 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 (YTD). I’d go back earlier but that’s as far as Google goes.

Your thoughts?
I looked up both Trump and pancreatic cancer yesterday.
Arne,
For which one are you voting? (Sorry. Couldn’t help it.).
Most of the Trump searches are probably looking to book a room at one of his fabulous resorts. Sure that must be it.
