Related: About this forumNo political signs in yards this election
All over town the yards are empty of political signs, even local city council.
I think the Internet is part of it and this ugly election is the other part of the reason.
Do your towns have campaign signs?

(8,168 posts)Been photographing businesses with Trump signs to remind myself to never go there ever again.
And to be fair, there are a decent number of Hillary signs on back roads in people's yards.

(1,810 posts)It is regularly removed and thrown down the street.
Down the road from me is the city of Dunedin. Tons of signs in that area for all different candidates. Mostly local. Its a great area and very active.
Not as many in my direct area.

(92,396 posts)so many yard signs in a state where it is almost a given that she will win, only puts emphasis on the enthusiasm that exists. That is way a lot of us involved in phone banking into swing states. They also have organized groups for those who can go into Nevada for canvassing

(3,040 posts)In fact, I only have seen 1 Hillary sign this whole election. And I live in NJ which is heavily Democratic.
On the other hand, I see tons of Trump signs all over the place.

When Hillary wins, this could get worse, I am afraid.

(2,795 posts)There are the gung ho Trump supporters that I see. One obnoxious house has a huge Trump/Pence banner on his deck and flying a Trump/Pence flag off his front porch. This man liked Ben Carson (from his yard signs) during the Primary.
I see a few Trump/Pence signs and a few Hillary bumper stickers. But not much. I think the people in and around where I live either don't want others to know they're closeted racists/bigots so don't display any trump signs, or there just isn't any enthusiasm and will only vote as a vote against Clinton.
On Smerconish's radio show, he did a poll about displaying signs or bumper stickers and something like 70% that responded to his unscientific poll said they won't for fear of property damage.
