ISLAMABAD: To help the media organizations and masses get easy access, Google has set up a Google Trends Pakistan General Election page, a tool that exhibits the top search topics, queries, and interests in parties contesting the polls.
The page also included data on the top election-related topics searched in each part of Pakistan, such as the economy, wages, taxes, and among others.
All the charts from the Google Trends page are embeddable on any site and will continue to update even after they are placed on an outlet’s site, it said in a statement.
Google Clarifies Initiative
It clarified that the Google Trends Pakistan General Election page is not a poll or survey and does not reflect voting intentions. It merely reflects people’s search interest in particular topics at a local level over a period of time.
It added that a spike in a particular search query does not reflect that a political party is somehow “more popular” or “winning”.
