When comparing Google searches of Donald Trump and Joe Biden one would be surprised that around the time of the first presidential debate the public was equally interested in both.

Currently, politics in the U.S have been complicated. Complicated to the point where people at this point do not know what the future holds for them. However, given the fact that the U.S election is near it is expected that individuals are doing their research regarding these two candidates. Both, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are in positions of power. One would assume that President Trump would be searched more or vice versa, however, surprisingly leading up to the first presidential debate both were equally searched.

If one analyzes the Google Search Trend, they would notice that starting from September 15, 2020, to September 29, 2020, both candidates were searched equally the same. Right after the September 29 Presidential debate, it was Joe Biden who peaked and more people were interested in him. However, Joe Biden’s peak didn’t last so long because right after on October 1, more people were interested in Donald Trump. Both candidates had their fair share of interests only to take a plunge in the coming days. Despite that Donald Trump remained at the top until around October 11, people’s interest in him dropped. From there on both President Trump and Joe Biden were on the same level of interest for people. Only time will tell who wins the heart of these people.

Which Country Is More Interesting For the World?

With both the U.S and U.K being Superpowers, one would assume that the world would be equally interested in them. After all, if they are Superpowers then there has to be something special about equally the same. However, that isn’t the case. The U.S seems to be capturing the attention of millions of people for all the wrong reasons despite it being a Superpower country.

According to the Google Search Data, there is a clear representation of the U.S being searched the most within the past 30 days. From September 15, 2020, to October 11 the U.S peaked multiple times. Despite dropping a few numbers down the U.S still held the interest of individuals more than the U.K. Now, there are a few reasons why the U.S has been a hot topic around the World. One of those reasons is COVID-19. The U.S has not been handling the virus well for a Superpower country, hence why it has been all over the news. Not only that but our current political state is a whole joke to the world, hence why it becomes so interesting to know more about the U.S.

There isn’t a moment where the U.S hasn’t been interesting for the world to see. Something new is always happening in this country and it doesn’t seem like it will stop anytime. Despite that, the U.S will always be the most searched country on this planet.
