Significantly more people are praying for Donald Trump than Hillary Clinton on Tuesday as millions of Americans head to the polls to elect their next president, Google data would suggest.

The search engine giant said the search term “Pray for Trump” is 180% higher than “Pray for Hillary.” Interest in the phrase “Pray for Trump” appeared to have peaked at 6 a.m. Tuesday as polls opened, according to Google Trends data.

People were also looking up “Pray for America” on Google. That phrase was rising 700% Tuesday evening.
