I have seen about 6 to 7 Trump flags, & about 3 Biden yard signs. However, my state will undoubtedly go for Biden, even if Trump wins the county.
I still think Trump will loose, because while he has a very loyal & energetic base, they are not that many. Independents who voted for him before have gone off him. The razor thin margins in some of the battle ground states, means Biden will take them, imo, as the independents who pushed him (T) to victory last time, are not going to do it again.
I live in Minneapolis about a mile south of downtown. I don't see signs for either although I do see tons of signs for Omar Fateh, the socialist who is running for our state senate seat. This is Bernie Sanders country, people aren't thrilled with either Trump or Biden and generally think both are too conservative. I suspect that in the end most will end up voting for Biden just to vote against Trump.
I'm in a semi-rural area of North Carolina that votes Republican. Almost all the signs I've seen in my area (particularly as the population density decreases and there are fewer minorities) are Trump signs with Biden signs seen rarely, but that's not the case in the next counties over in several directions.
However, even in the heavily Republican area with Trump signs and flags everywhere, there are quite a few signs for down ballot local candidates, state house representative, judges, etc. that are Democratic.
Went for nearly 6 hour walk today and noted the following political signs in Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County, PA. This is a township that borders Harrisburg, PA city and is roughly 1-5 miles from urban neighborhoods. All of the area surveyed were apartment buildings, townhomes, SFH, large SFH built between 1970-now.
I only counted 1 sign per property (i.e. if a property had more than 1 sign, I only counted it once)
- 52 Biden signs (1 of which was homemade/sarcastic "Only Suckers and Losers Support Biden", with Dem local/congressional sign) (May have been 53 but I couldn't tell if one property which had multiple signs was for 2 townhouses, or not)
- 3 Biden bumper stickers (all of which were parked on/in front of properties with no Biden signs)
- 8 Trump signs (1 of which had a Trump flag)
- 0 Trump bumper stickers
- 9 Black Lives Matter signs
- 1 Sasquatch/Ben Dover 2020 sign
- 1 Photo of person's dog 2020 sign
- Many local/congressional signs, did not keep track
No presidential signs in a public area, but some local/congressional signs in public area.
Not sure what this area was like in 2016 because I didn't go for walks then. Based on this data, Trump is really depending on the Silent Majority. Also, I walked by probably a few hundred properties at least.
What's the sign situation in your neighborhood/area?
In my gentrifying inner city Houston, there are easily more Biden signs with a smattering of trump signs, which would be expected. All along rural highways, there are large trump signs in front of ranches. It looks to me like the trump campaign or Republican Party paid them to place the signs there.
About half and half (Trump vs. Biden or Republican vs. Democrat) which is typical for my county, and one of the reasons we moved here, meaning the history of national elections have been pretty close here.
Only two Black Lives Matter signs.
(This, of course, is what I observed. Not saying that is how it actually is here.)
I live in Santa Monica, California, Biden will win easily here, but there is no plaque or flag here ... Biden is not Obama ... Obama was a candidate with a pop star air, so it was acceptable to show support with flags and totems, Biden it is like Hilary a common candidate, so there is no enthusiasm to signal support.
Now in Denver's central park neighborhood, it's a Biden festival of flags and totems wherever you go.
I'm in a liberal part of Atlanta. 80% Democrat. Only seen 5 or 6 Biden signs. Dozens of BLM signs. 1 Trump sign. 4 years ago it was the same guy with a Trump sign and I'm with Her signs everywhere. Obama signs were everywhere in 2012.
