American voters who fear a Donald Trump presidency but are not totally convinced by the idea of Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office have turned to Google in search of a third option.
According to from Google Trends, the search engine saw a significant spike in searches for 鈥�3rd party candidate 2016鈥� since the Republican National Convention kicked off on Monday.
The data appears to show a growing sense of unease in the American electorate as the Nov. 8 election day looms.
The unique search hit its highest point on Wednesday, the same night that Ted Cruz told Americans to 鈥渧ote their conscience鈥� and was booed off the stage.
The four states most interested in the search included three blue states -- Colorado, Michigan and Washington -- and Missouri, which has been won by Republicans in the last four elections.
Google Trends previously made news in the U.S. election junket after a noticeable spike in searches was , the presumptive presidential nominee for the U.S. Green Party.
Searches for Stein came as Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders ended his presidential run, and the data has been seen as a warning sign to Hillary Clinton that some progressive voters could intend to cast ballots for the third-party candidate.
Other possible third-party candidates include Tom Hoefling for the far-right American Independent Party, and Gloria LaRiva, leader of the Party of Socialism and Liberation.
