Can you predict voting behavior with google trends? Can you predict voting behavior with google trends?

I was just doing some research on google trends and was wondering if the frequency of party searches could be used to infer that parties are more likely to be voted for by undecided voters.

Since here is certainly one or the other expert, I would be very curious about an opinion.

According to my analysis, I would guess that most undecided voters would probably vote SPD and AFD. Would you agree with that?


If lots of people use advance search to look at a key word during a period of time that has passed will that show up in the Google Trends data/graphs etc?

I searched for “pandemic” and the data shows a small peak in September 2019, so GT must include retrospective searches in their data as there is no other possible way this would appear. As a result, does this impact the accuracy of the data or is it too small a difference to matter, please?












"Yesterday's" trends data changes all day...why? "Yesterday's" trends data changes all day...why?

I have a website that shows Google Trends data for the previous day via the API. But, the data for "yesterday's" date always changes well into the next day. In other words, the list of trending searches for the previous calendar day seems to change all day long the NEXT day based on some factor. Does anyone have an idea why the previous day's data seems to change all day long?
