The searches spiked just as NBC moderator Kristen Welker asked about the minimum wage, an issue affecting millions of Americans on which there is a sharp candidate contrast.

“I think one of the things we are going to have to do is we are going to have to bail them out, too — we should be bailing them out now, those small businesses,” he said. “You've got 1 in 6 of them going under.

Some emphasize that it would make it harder for businesses to pay employees and therefore cost jobs, while others say it would boost household incomes, raise consumer spending and deliver net benefits to the economy. National polling by USA Today and Ipsos has found that public support for a higher minimum wage has grown since the pandemic hit: Americans supported the idea 65 percent to 26 percent in February, and the margin rose to 72 percent to 19 percent in August.
