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?

Mostly Trump In my area. Trump is winning the sign battles nationwide.

Which is going to leave his supporters even more dumbfounded when he loses in a landslide.

I live in a small town in SE Michigan in a county that was historically Blue, largely because of the blue collar union worker presence, until 2016 when it went to Trump. Everywhere I go in my area, whether it be this small town, the county seat (city of roughly 25,000), the township that borders Ohio (30,000 people), or the rural areas, Trump signs outnumber Biden signs at least 30 to 1. Also huge blue Trump flags, there are many of those too.

We drove from the bottom of our state to the very top a few weeks ago and Trump signs outnumbered Biden signs everywhere, and by quite a noticeable margin. The only place I saw more Biden signs was in the Old Mission Peninsula in Grand Traverse Bay, although we didn't hit Detroit, Flint, or Ann Arbor, which are the Blue spots on this big, red mitten.

Most of my extended family live in NW Ohio. Again, Trump country, at least 30 to 1.

If my area is any indication, it's Trump by a landslide.

I've seen several Trumpie signs out in mostly red rural WA. One guy painted his roof; another is flying a Trump flag. There have been some Biden signs as well though.

Just curious, if Trump is winning the sign battles nationwide, not to mention how many, many Trump boat parades, motorcycle parades, etc. have been held when there have been zero for Biden, and people wait for hours in line to attend Trump's enormous rallies, why do you believe that Trump will lose in a landslide? He won in 2016 and he didn't have nearly that much visible support. Is your theory that all these millions of people who are so on fire for him are not going to vote?

I'm not baiting you, I'm honestly curious, because to me it seems obvious that Trump has this by a landslide. Even if I hated him I would still feel that way.

I'm in rural North Carolina.

There are tons of Trump signs (and that's just from the people who aren't afraid to put them out ha ha), a few Biden signs are up in the wealthy part of town where a lot of North Eastern transplants have relocated to get away from the high taxes and policies of the Democratic liberal states they fled from. Figure that one out.

Ironic, isn't it? That is what I was thinking when I saw all of the Biden signs on the Old Mission Peninsula in northern Michigan. This peninsula is filled with wealthy people who own vineyards and wineries and got all of that money through hard work and capitalism. It just doesn't add up when you hear Biden talk about how much he is going to raise taxes on the wealthy and how the radical Left is drooling over socialism.

I cannot speak for your neck of the woods, but rest assured I was very concerned back in 2016 with an overwhelming majority of Hillary signs, bumper stickers, etc. (in so called purple state won by Trump), and hardly a couple of Trump signs/stickers anywhere.
Though I live in a fairly safe and stable area, many probably did not want to risk some punk trying to damage a home, car or anything else the typical leftist fascist coward does.
That included many local races where the Democrats had their sings out, but lost almost all important races.

Make of it what you will.

I live in an upscale suburb of Pittsburgh ( somehow, I slipped in a while ago ) and I have driven through probably 75% of it.
I would estimate signs 60% Trump, 40% Biden, which I don't think is a good sign for Trump.
The township has been historically Republican, but, as usual, the young & clueless that moved in have been Democrats.
All of that multi-generational brainwashing by the education nomenklatura has resulted in this stupidity.
Do these clowns with Biden-Harris signs have any idea what would happen if the vile Harris ends up as president?
