Well folks I traveled the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania the last 2 weeks and I took careful count of what I saw in terms of political signs.

I traveled 600 miles back and forth from the west to the east in the state, from north of Pittsburgh to Berks county and back, then I traveled 200 miles back and forth on route 30 in the West for another trip.

I counted 26 Trump signs on the turnpike...these were big billboard type signs that the land owners put up it seems. They were visible in both directions on the turnpike. I also saw 14 Trump signs in the local areas of Berks County.

In my whole trip I saw zero Biden signs.

On my Route 30 trip, I saw 11 Trump signs ranging from large billboards to electronic signs, to small lawn signs. I even saw several signs that had large paragraphs on them denigrating Biden. They were so long that I couldn't read all of them, but they basically said don't vote for a guy with dementia and "Kamala will be the real president." On this trip I did see two small Biden lawn signs.

So traversing much of PA, I saw 51 Trump signs of all types and sizes and 2 Biden lawn signs.

Needless to say, I was surprised, especially at the lack of signs in the Eastern part of the state.

Anecdotal, of course, but if people are fired up enough to go to the trouble of constructing billboards, I'd say Biden is going to have trouble in PA!

Your observation in PA holds true in all 50 states. Blue, Red, Purple, doesn't matter. Trump is a superstar and Biden has no chance in hell.

Almost have to feel sorry for democrats. The DNC has screwed them so bad over the last 2 election cycles.

Since the Trump cult and people who vote republican in general are more like a herd seeking confirmation and renforcement in numbers - banner counting is futile. Every election cycle fans of republican team swamp lonely banners of democrats.

LOL! The signs that are out are only by the people ballsy enough to put them out without fear of violence or vandalism on their property. Take whatever number of signs there are and multiply by 10 and you have a much closer estimate of the silent majority.

I don't know. I never remember anywhere close to this number of Bush or Romney signs, and I remember seeing a lot more Obama signs.

You are absolutely correct. There is ZERO enthusiasm for Biden/Harris. It's truly sad to know their true desire for voting for this ticket. It's all just about ousting Trump. There is no substance in this ticket. Just racism and ignorance.

Maybe Slow Joe has been slow to get his signs printed because when I was in NEPA (mostly Lackawana and Luzerne Counties) this past week I'd say it was 50/50 as far as Biden / Pres. Trump yard signs.

I live in a rural area full of singlewide Trump/Republican fans. Republican ticket predictably wins around here by 2 to 1 margin at the very least. Yet Trump/Republican banners outnumber democrat banners 20 to 1++. Of course Trump banners are very helpful as far as identifying folks with weak or non existent brain function and moral judgement, other than that .... when Trump cultists around here try to explain their love of Trump standup comedians rest. USA is seriously fkd up with all around underpowered folks like that.
