From FiveThirtyEight:

So, here is the number of Google searches before and after the Iowa caucuses in 2008 and 2012, 2008 being the more relevant ones on the Democratic side.

Look at the SHARP uptick about two weeks before the actual caucuses in ‘08. People know the caucus is happening soon, and actually start doing their research. Then, AFTER Iowa, the interest EXPLODES.

And we know two things:

Who was leading comfortably in the polls pre-Iowa. Who won Iowa, and then took charge from the Iowa burst to win the presidency.

We at DK have HORRIBLE insight as to the typical voter’s attention to the race at this point. Just keep plugging, and we’ll see what happens, WHEN it happens.

In the meantime, buckle up. Things will be heating up, very soon.

GO BERNIE!

VOTE BERNIE!
