Google Trends: Bernie Did Better in 2015 Against Hillary than Obama did in 2007

I used Google Trends to see how Obama fared compared to Hillary in 2007 from April through December  and then how Bernie Sanders did in the same time frame, in 2015 from April through December, in terms of search traffic.
