Mobile has become a central component of this year’s election: 2,000% increase in debate-related searches on mobile in 2012 vs. 2008

Mobile helps voters find spur-of-the-moment information: 3,300% increase in searches related to Libya immediately after the question about presidential accountability for the Benghazi attack

Mobile is used simultaneously with television: 47% of Tuesday’s elections-related mobile searches occurred during and immediately after the debate
