Thread: If lawn signs are an indication....

  1. #1

    If lawn signs are an indication....

    ..then, Trump wins. Last week, we took a road trip from southern Vermont to South Carolina. VT state route 9, NYS thruway, Pennsylvania I-84, I-81, I-77 into SC. Trump signs seen were at least 95%, to Biden signs at 5%. Many, many homemade Trump signs on farm wagons pulled close to the interstate thru PA and VA. Some guy parked a tractor trailer near I-81 in PA with a huge Trump banner. Lots of Trump banners hanging from personal homes. All Biden signs that I saw were small, pre-printed lawn signs. Nothing huge. What I’m seeing on the ground is not matching what I see on the TV news programs.

    Not even Obama can bring folks out for Joe

    According to CBS News campaign reporter Tim Perry, Obama’s drive-in event in Florida on Saturday only brought in 228 cars, totaling about 400 people.

    In Kansas City proper, south of the river- 75th street to 47th Street, Stateline to Troost, I see 90% Biden signs to Trump. I know in 2016, the vote was more like 55/45 for Clinton.

    I strongly suspect that lots of folks are a "silent/low profile majority" in a given area.

    Ergo-signs are not a meaningful correlation IMHO.

    In my 'hood, it's all Biden, all the time. Zero Trump signs.

    At a time when people are having rocks thrown through their car windows, trash thrown on their lawn next to Trump signs, and in one case having their horse shot for having a Trump sign, putting up a Trump sign definitely shows an above-average level of enthusiasm. People wearing MAGA hats have been subject to all kinds of harassment for the past 4 years, so putting up a sign despite the potential for becoming a crime victim says something about enthusiasm.

    If we want to go by signage locally, Trump is in 1st and Biden is in 3rd.

    Who's in second you ask?

    Garage sale signs.

    My neighborhood, with lots of retired damyankee carpetbaggers, is 9 Trump to 5 Biden.

    Trump signs outnumbered Biden 10:1 here, for a while. Now the numbers are even.

    But no one has stolen construction equipment to run over signs: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ns/6041381002/ In other words, it goes both ways, and any sign is an invitation for meatheads.

    In my entire life I've only had one campaign sign in my yard, and that was for an issue that directly affected safety forces. I don't like any person enough to campaign for them.
