Looking at 2007 only because I can't read the whole graph because Biden and Richardson wind up distorting it due to their spikes in 2008-9. <A HREF="http://google.com/trends?q=dennis+kucinich%2C+mike+gravel%2C+bill+richardson%2C+joe+biden%2C+chris+dodd&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2007&sort=0" REL="nofollow">Link.</A><BR/><BR/>In the second half of 2007, Kucinich consistently had more Google Trends "support" than Richardson, who ran neck-and-neck with Biden by this metric. Richardson lead the other lower-tier candidates during the first quarter of 2007. Gravel was erratic, at times surpassing all the others, at times falling behind them. Chris Dodd lost some support to Christopher Dodd and was largely a non-factor.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365194237710177589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-68995904344807049532009-04-08T19:59:00.000-04:002009-04-08T19:59:00.000-04:00You know, I thought people would be interested in ...You know, I thought people would be interested in that information even as I was pressing the publish button on this post, Glenn.<BR/><BR/>I'll put that up in its own post momentarily.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-58179701294444946772009-04-08T17:15:00.000-04:002009-04-08T17:15:00.000-04:00Could we see the 2008 Primary season data as well,...Could we see the 2008 Primary season data as well, to see if the search numbers correlate to changes in standings over this period?<BR/><BR/>Also, at what point do we start having poll data to compare this to?Glennnoreply@blogger.com
