Summary | Google Trends allows people to compare users' searches on different topics. A chart shows the results of two searches: "Jesus" (red curve) and "memes" (blue curve). In September, the blue curve passed the red one, which means that memes were "stronger than Jesus". Google Trends can also be used for political polls. However, the tool is not perfect and has some limitations.
