So I'm not promising this will be a 100% viable method, but it is definitely an interesting possibility that I will keep a close eye on over the next few months.
I've never tried this before a year or so ago as the service just wasn't available. I was looking around at Google Trends thinking of how it could be used and I came to the thought of possibly using it to predict who may win the presidency. Based off of the majority of my keyword input, the results currently point to a high probability of Obama becoming president, as he has a higher public interest. Please look at the charts, links, etc and decide for yourself.
Here we have a "vote for ******" keyword chart. This keyword chart represents the search volume for the terms "vote for obama" and the terms "vote for mccain"
"Vote for Obama" is represented by the blue line
"Vote for McCain is represented by the red
Full statistics: Google Trends: vote for obama, vote for mccain
Here we have a keyword chart that represents the search volume for the search terms: "obama" and "mccain"
"Obama" is represented by the blue line
"McCain" is represented by the red line

Now to throw a loose bolt into the gear box, I have added clinton to the mix. The number are fairly consistent rankings of public interest in each candidate, and as you can tell even with the huge popularity of the Clinton name, it is still at the bottom of the ranks. This is obviously due to the lack of campaigning, and it is shown by the search volume increases going up for McCain and Obama, but continuing to drop for Clinton.
"Obama" is represented by the blue line
"McCain" is represented by the red line
"Clinton" is represented by the orange line.

Now like I said, I don't consider this to be 100% accurate, or even come close. Large groups of people may have interest in a specific for a variety of reasons other than considering voting for them. I am curious what all of you think?
BTW, these graphs will always be live updates, so I didn't post who it says is better, or worse (Aside from Clinton, she has 0% chance of becoming president)...
