Abstract

This dataset is composed of 176 Excel files, downloaded via the Google Trends tool between June 11 and 15, 2025. The files include time series data on the relative frequency (in percentages) of Google searches conducted in European Union member states on four topics: corruption, immigration, security, and transexuality. They also include data related to right-wing, center-right, and center-left (used as a control group) political parties in each country. Each file contains one column with the date (on a weekly basis) and another with the series value (a percentage normalized by Google Trends). The time span covered in each file is five years.
