Crime, Social Security, health care and unemployment are among the top election issues of Americans, according to an analysis of Google searches by the Associated Press.
The Associated Press says it partnered with Google Trends to discover the election-related topics people across the country are searching for this year.
The AP published an interactive search function that allows users to see which issues are atop Americans' minds and to chart their rise and fall over the year.
Along with looking broadly at the United States as a whole, it also allows users to drill down to determine how much those issues are trending at the state level.
Crime is the number one search related to the election
Take crime, the top issue.
Washington, D.C., has the highest search interest in crime among all regions of the country. Hawaii has the least, during the week of May 26.
Social Security is the number two election-related search
Social Security, ranked second nationally, has the highest interest in Mississippi. The issue is the least searched in Utah where it ranks 51st.
The D.C. area also ranks health care as the top search, but it's way down on the list in New Mexico at 51.
Unemployment is the top issue searched in Pennsylvania, and the least searched topic in Nebraska.
Other top search trends
Rounding out the top 10 issues are the economy, immigration, Supplemental Security Income, minimum wage, abortion and inflation.
"Search terms are grouped together into overall topics, including those conducted in different languages. For example, 'economy' will include 'economic growth' and 'GDP,'" the AP said.
