It stands to reason that search engine usage can predict election outcomes. If 90% of search engine enquiries are for one particular candidate, then chances are that candidate is going to win.

Of course. That may be a bit of a stretch, but there’s no doubt that online search behavior can be an insightful window in the minds of consumers and voters.

I think it is important to consider the pool of searchers when considering the results of any research. Clearly the findings can be flawed by abuse and faulty science.

If the survey is measured re clicks then it maybe more effective.

I don’t know whether search engine usage really represents the interests of people.There are countless reason behind that but the most important one is that there are very few people who take part in online surveys (voying) so,it can only depict the opinion of a few not a mass.
