Are you seeing many political yard signs in your city?

Asked by Jons_Blond (8253points) January 17th, 2020 from iPhone

This was asked 4 years ago. It’s a new political cycle.

Which politician dominates in your town/city?

It’d be nice if you’d share your location as well but I understand if you don’t want to.

I’m in Wisconsin. The majority are Bernie Sanders signs. I’ve seen one sign for Trump and one for Warren.

I’m in Waukesha County, Wisconsin (45 mins from Madison, but I won’t say the exact town I’m in). Conservatives here so mainly Trump signs.

In Northern California. All the lawn signs I’ve seen lately have been for local stuff.

@Jonsblond you don’t have to answer this but are you in Madison? I thought you said somewhere you were but I can’t remember

@SergeantQueen I’m cool with saying. I live on the isthmus, just a mile from the Capitol building.

@Jonsblond Super interesting how much political views differ from county to county. This (my) county is mainly republicans but you drive to Milwaukee, or Madison, it’s the complete opposite.

Not many, but plenty of people wear Trump hats and shirts, and people here decorate their golf carts with bumper stickers and flags. The Democrats do it also, but not as much as the Republicans.

I went to a debate about impeachment, and the audience members who were decked out with identifiers were the Trumpers.

I think we will see some more signs when the field of Democrats gets more narrowed down. I think my state doesn’t have the primary vote until mid March.

I live in Northern Georgia & I’ve seen very few signs or bumper stickers supporting anybody other than our local sheriff. I’m also not hearing very many political discussions when I’m out & about. I’m not complaining as I hate all the political crap every 4 years, but it is eerily quiet for this election. Georgia is considered a red state but we’re not a pivotal state, so I don’t think that that any of trump’s campaigners care to woo us assuming that they have enough votes to carry the election without the expense of making sure that we fall in line. Last election, people were getting in fist fights over who they supported.

Once the Dems finally choose an actual candidate, I suspect this calm before the storm will burst the dam!!!

None, I have yet to see a single one. Probably a decent indicator of what the election turn out will be here.

There is a lack of anything signaling support of a candidate in Los Angeles. I haven’t seen any yard signs at all. I’ve seen 4 bumper stickers: Bernie, Warren, Pete, and Kamala. In all the Trump years I’ve only seen 1 sticker supporting him, and nothing else.

We do live in the California bubble, but I think most people know CA will go blue so no one is really concerned about who it is.

No. I’m about an hour north of NYC. There are a lot of Trump lovers and a lot of Trump haters. Mostly the Trump lovers keep it on the low.

The liberal areas all have Warren signs along with a few Bernie signs, but the rest are Trump flags and bumper stickers or nothing. I have no signs up myself.
SW Missouri.

It is nearly the end of January. More people still have their Christmas lights up than have put up political signs. Not joking. I walked up to Safeway at 10pm last night to get lasagna supplies and about 5 houses still had up C-mas lights. Not a single sign. Weed is legal here..
