Analyzing Political Search Trends from 2020 to 2024
Biden vs. Trump (2020) Harris vs. Trump (2024)
Joe Biden Vs. Donald Trump in the Year 2020
This Google Trends graphic compares the searchers for Joe Biden (blue) and Donald Trump (red) throughout 2020, an important election year in the United States. According to an analysis of Google search data on Google Trends, Donald Trump had more consistent searchers for the majority of the year. However, Joe Biden’s searches started to rise sharply around the time of the presidential debates and the weeks leading up to the November election.
Trump’s searches spiked in late spring and summer, connecting to how he handled the COVID-19 pandemic and political rallies. Biden got his biggest surge just before the election as the public started to give him more attention.
This usually happens when an important election happens, where the sitting president, in this case Trump, generally receives more attention throughout the year and as the election date approaches, the opposing candidate gains more visibility, especially during debates and campaign events. The shifts in search interest reflect how the public and media coverage change as elections get near.
Kamala Harris Vs Donald Trump 2024 in The Past 7 Days
This Google Trends graphic tracks the searches for Kamala Harris (blue) and Donald Trump (red) over the past seven days in the United States. The graph shows a consistent number of searches for Donald Trump compared to Kamala Harris throughout this period. Though search trends vary in both data, Trump’s increases are more noticeable particularly towards the end. This increased attention could be due to his ongoing legal troubles, his presidential campaign, or his activities at MAGA rallies, which often grab media headlines.
In contrast, Kamala Harris has steady, average searches without any increases. These searches reflect her position as vice president but also shows that she hasn’t attracted the same level of public attention as Trump. Even though Harris participates in rallies and events, her impact appears to be less compared to Trump’s fame.
Overall, this graphic shows the difference in how each candidate engages with the public and the media. Trump clearly plays a larger role in political discussions and media coverage, while Harris remains a consistent but less prominent figure in public interest, showing the public stance of our recent news today.
