#google trends elections 2022

In the last few weeks leading to the May 9 national elections, Google Trends has been consistently in front of the news as a more accurate predictor of election results, especially for top national positions such as President and Vice President. Google Trends is a website by Google that analyzes the popularity of top search queries in Google Search across various regions and languages. Google Trends as of May 9, 2022 11:30pmMany experts claim that Google Trends is a better predictor of election results since it measures interest with a likely intent to vote for the subject of the search. Google Trends as of May 9, 2022 11:30pmResearchers even pointed out that Google Trends have accurately predicted presidential elections in other countries such as the United States, Brazil, Spain, Canada and, more recently, France. However, Google states the contrary to this assertion: Is Google Trends the same as polling data? Google Trends is not a scientific poll and shouldn’t be confused with polling data. Google Trends data should always be considered as one data point among others before drawing conclusions. The website, FactRakers.org, also corrected claims that Google Trends predicted Noynoy and Binay winning the 2010 elections as well as Duterte and Robredo winning the 2016 national elections.
