The Lycos 50 Daily Report
 The things you're searching for.April 17, 2000 

Presidential Family Feud!

During this post-primary campaign lull let's check how the famous Bush clan compares in online interest to the rising Gore clan.

The rankings below are based on Lycos user searches for early April. Percentages reflect each person's share of all Gore/Bush queries. (Note: since the Bush clan had a 5-4 advantage in popular members, we've made Socks the White House cat an honorary Gore.) The full tally:

     1.  George W. Bush(45.5%)
     2.  Al Gore (44.5%)
     3.  President George Bush (4.2%)
     4.  Barbara Bush (1.8%)
     5.  Tipper Gore (1.6%)
     6.  Jeb Bush (0.8%)
     7.  Socks the Cat (0.6%)
     8.  Karenna Gore (0.4%)
     9.  Laura Bush (0.4%)
     10. Albert Gore, Sr. (0.2%)

The totals?

Bush: 52.7
Gore: 47.3

That makes a clear, if not overwhelming, majority for the Bushes over the Gores. And while Tipper Gore whups Laura Bush, matriarch Barbara Bush tops them both. Even on the Internet, everyone loves grandma.
