Obama v. Bush: Google counts
November 12th, 2008 by davidw
“George Bush”: 25M hits at Google (with the quotation marks)
“George W. Bush”: 48M
“Barack Obama”: 105M
“Obama”: 248M
“Bush”: 344M
Wow, that seems screwy! The combined total for “George Bush” and “George W. Bush,” after 9 years of coverage (campaign and presidency), and including two George Bushes, is only about 75% of the number of hits for Barack Obama before he’s taken office?
Either we’re really excited about Barack Obama or something’s gone wrong in my Google searches. Or, more likely, both.
