Google Trends for Potential 2016 Candidates - March 2015

[CPUd]

New York (CNN)According to Google trend data provided to CNN, Americans mostly searched the height and age of potential 2016 presidential candidates during the month of March and Rand Paul gifs (no, really, it was the third most searched topic on Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul).

Of all the 2016 hopefuls, Ted Cruz was searched the most during March followed by Hillary Clinton and Scott Walker. As you can see from the map below, historically Democratic states like Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York searched more for answers and topics on Ted Cruz than Clinton, presumably because of his presidential announcement which peaked interest. As for Walker, it appears more people searched questions and topics on him in the state of Wisconsin, than the entire country searched questions and topics related to competing 2016 Republican hopeful, Jeb Bush.
