Google trends and the interest in Mormonsim
Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2012 6:48 pm
I was looking at Google Trends trying to measure the effect that Mitt Romney's campaign had on Mormonism.
For search terms like "Mormon" we see that it spiked in the last month.

It is also interesting that before this campaign it seems that it was trending slowly downwards.
We see it also for "blacks Mormon".

While the searh for "LDS" has fallen consistently since 2004.

It will also be interesting to check it a couple months from now to see if it resets to pre-election levels.
If you can find any interesting results or comparisons please post then here.
