As the 2022 midterms approach, see which issues people in your congressional district care about
All politics are local.
To identify the most decisive issues for this year’s midterm voters, Axios dug through Google Trends search data in each congressional district.
We are tracking two trends:
- Absolute interest, which ranks the topics people are Googling most in their districts.
- Relative interest, which compares the interest in a topic from one district to another.
For example, people in Montana’s 2nd Congressional District have been searching about “jobs” less frequently than people in most other districts. The topic has low relative interest there. But in the same district, people search “jobs” more than any other topic listed. So “jobs” still comes in as No. 1 for absolute interest.
You can learn more about how we measure absolute interest and relative interest below or scroll down to explore the results on your own.

Um bom exemplo da utilização de valores relativos em vez de valores absolutos

At a certain point, it was no longer a matter of if the United States would reach the gruesome milestone of 1 in 500 people dying of covid-19, but a matter of when. A year? Maybe 15 months? The answer: 19 months.
Given the mortality rate from covid and our nation’s population size, “we’re kind of where we predicted we would be with completely uncontrolled spread of infection,” said Jeffrey D. Klausner, clinical professor of medicine, population and public health sciences at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine. “Remember at the very beginning, which we don’t hear about anymore, it was all about flatten the curve.”
