It’s not nothing for sure, but statistically it’s almost impossible that all of that represents uninformed voters. Children and people ineligible to vote can also do internet searches. So with that in mind, to my eye this doesn’t represent that a significant portion of the voting public had no idea Biden wasn’t running before Election Day.
Children and ineligible people are both the minority and don’t have as much reason to google it. To my eye that will be a small amount of the searches.
Not to mention people that are just not American nor live in the US, but take an interest during the election, which is about true in the rest of the west.
The spike when you zoom out to the past year:
There are uninformed voters for sure, but always be suspicious of stories that confirm your biases a bit too much.
Going off the bars that’s roughly 1/8 or 12.5% of the peak. Not what I would consider small.
