Online interest in the two presidential candidates, John Kerry (#36) and President George W. Bush (#40) peaks this week following the first of three nationally televised debates between the two candidates. Kerry is currently generating slightly more search activity than Bush, whose online popularity dropped nearly 14 percent this week. Specific searches for the candidates include: Kerry/Bush debate; John Kerry compassionate conservativism; Bush's war record; George W. Bush cabinet meetings; George Bush cartoons; John Kerry's senate attendance; John Kerry tan; Bush and education; polls on Bush and Kerry; John Kerry and assault weapons.
Other Notes of Interest:
Hurricanes (#21) and hurricane-related searches continue to resonate with Web users. The top-10 most-searched hurricane queries include searches for: Hurricanes Jeanne, Ivan, Lisa, Charlie and Frances; hurricanes in Miami; hurricanes in Disney World; hurricane tracking; hurricane pictures; hurricane clean-up; and hurricane damage. Hurricanes also account for the continuous rise in search activity for the Airline Flight Tracking (#1) system, which is the most popular search term for the second straight week. Meanwhile, the anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing drug Vioxx, fell just short of making this week's list, landing at number 51. Since news of the FDA recall, search activity for Vioxx has increased more than 500 percent.
