See Candidates' Google Search Results and Spending in Swing States

Election Day is just a handful of days away. For President Barack Obama and Gov.Mitt Romney, attracting undecided voters in the swing states -- Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Ohio -- is more critical now than ever.

Google Politics and Election published an infographic that examines the spending by both campaigns alongside each candidate's news-related search interest (in the last 30 days) in the most-watched states.

Some highlights: Obama has outspent Romney $61 million to $39 million in swing states. In Ohio, Obama's campaign spent $16 million; Romney's dropped $10 million. Obama leads in search interest in the Buckeye State, whereas Romney leads in news results.

Look through the graphic below to see more. Do the results surprise you? Let us know what you think.
