I'm noticing very few yard signs this season. It seems like no one wants to display their political lean during these polarized times. And the more upscale the area, the less signs I see - which makes sense.
On my block I've go one perennial Trump sign that has been up since 2015, owned by an unbelievably vocal die-hard Trump supporter. There was another Trump sign down the block for a month or two, that apparently just was removed with nothing replacing it - no idea what's up with that. Then near that guy, is a new Biden sign. And that's it. Strangely quiet.
About the same number for both. It depends on where I am in the state.
Even within the same city, I suspect I’d see more Biden signs as I got closer to downtown.
I have not seen that many signs either way.Initially, I had seen only Trump signs but I’m starting to notice more Biden signs. Still, in the area in which I live, there are more Trump signs. Now I just know somebody’s going to tell me yard signs mean absolutely nothing and I totally agree. I don’t have a sign yet I’m equally as motivated to vote for my candidate of choice as anyone who does have one. I also seriously doubt a yard sign would influence anyone either way so I’m no way saying the presence of signs gives us any insight as to who will end up winning.
Ok, enough disclaimers, what have you noticed in your neck of the woods?
This area and all around is an ocean of Trump signs and even moreso Trump flags. We're on the Gulf Coast Natural Coast (central Florida West Coast.) Over the weekend we went to Jupiter, Florida on the Atlantic. Saw hundreds, maybe thousands, of Trump flags. A Trump car parade went the other way down a road. The Intercoastal was lines of hundreds, maybe thousands of boats going both ways. At least 1 in 5 was flying Trump flags. Same for yard signs. Larger mini-billboard signs for the ranches and rural houses on the way there.
I have seen a total of two Trump signs with a white circle with a slash as anti-Trump signs, maybe half a dozen Biden bumper stickers. ZERO Biden signs or flags. Does Biden even have a yard sign?
Too bad flags can't vote. Florida is basically Miami and Tampa (Democrat) versus the rest of the state (Republican). However, Miami's Cuban-Americans are solidly pro-Trump - and protesters best not try to block their car parades because they're not stopping! Don't mess with Miami Cuban-Americans.
Washington is a strange state. You go a few miles inland or into any rural or farming community and there are trump signs everywhere. I don't see many Biden signs anywhere in Seattle or the suburbs - almost all the yard signs in my area are for local/down ballot races.Initially, I had seen only Trump signs but I’m starting to notice more Biden signs.

Nothing wrong for taking pride in your home's appearance - good for you!Just speaking for myself here, but I think lawn signs, in general, are just tacky.
My wife and I spend many man-hours and hard earned dollars to keep our yard golf course, country-club immaculate. Just a little something, granted somewhat obsessive and silly, thing the two of us do together. We really like to have a nice yard. It's more of a hobby than a chore. To put some tacky signage up, regardless of what the sign says, would be like me putting a steamy dog turd on the green, near the 18th hole, up by the clubhouse.
I dunno about that. Might be those people who get hysterical if a kid walks across their golf course yard and for which the greatest of all human rights is founded in their property value. Property value rights isn't in the Bill Of Rights.Nothing wrong for taking pride in your home's appearance - good for you!
Rural Virginia, there are way more Trump yard signs. I don’t think that, in these times, it makes any sense to broadcast any political affiliation in this manner. IMO, I don’t think VA is in danger of going “red.”
Lots of American/Trump flags waving in the beautiful CA. breezes in my neighborhood.

I live in a very blue area and there are only a handful of signs. A few brave souls have Trump signs and flags out.Initially, I had seen only Trump signs but I’m starting to notice more Biden signs.
