Google Trends Shows Ron Paul Spike

David — August 22, 2011

Since Ron Paul officially entered the 2012 US Presidential race I have been checking Google Trends to get an idea of his popularity across the internet. I checked it again today and to my delight I found that his popularity has spiked in the last few weeks. By ignoring Ron Paul all the media does is invigorate his supporters. He just received a money bomb on his birthday for $1.82 million dollars. No other candidate receives amounts of that size coming from small donors on a regular basis. This came just after his close second place finish in the Ames Iowa Straw Poll. I look forward to Ron Paul winning the war of ideas and influencing a generation in the ways of peace, sound money and limited government.
