(30,783 posts)The central committees here in Northern Illinois are waiting until he announces a VP pick. I received some emails to that effect yesterday.
There are a few Magat and trump signs and flags around.

(65,395 posts)An R hasn't won the vote here since 1988. And that was quite close.
We did go through our Reagan stupidity in 1980 & 1984, I'll admit.
But, for 7 straight elections Illinois has gone dem.

Coolidge signs in their yard. They may be Magat.

(94,974 posts)All signs were for Trump.

(36,914 posts)On the positive side, I have noticed a HUGE decrease in Trump signs on other outings. A few places that had the obnoxiously huge "Lock Her Up" signs don't currently have Trump signs displayed. I have also noticed several other types of signs, such as "Black Lives Matter".

(2,769 posts)Yes, there are a TON of Black Lives Matter signs and none that I've seen for the 2 presidential candidates.

(1,665 posts)Lots of Ass-Gibbon signs around here. Virtually no Joe signs. And more scarily, a lot of the "We Back the Badge" or "Thin Blue Line" signs which are basically Trump signs incognito. There are some BLM and "Hate Has No Home Here" and progressive signs, but not a ton.
That's just my impression of signs though and NOT a scientific poll, and only reflecting a small geographic area of the state (suburb of Milwaukee). I imagine if I lived in Madison the ratio would be more than flipped.

(10,303 posts)I felt like I was giving one fingered salutes to all the Dump/Dense signs every other minute. Also these are huge signs. I assume all the houses supporting Biden don't have signs.

(19,271 posts)50% Biden
50% Bernie
0% Trump
Our subdivision is maybe 75 houses, there are no signs out save for a Bernie one that's been out for a year, and my Biden sign.
This is a pretty 50-50 part of town, I think the Trumpers are ashamed to show their support in a neighborhood with liberals and minorities in it.

(56,829 posts)I've seen a grand total of two yard signs over the past few months of neighborhood walks and drives around town.
Driving includes a weekly trip to the grocery store and to Costco; every other week or so to a CVS or Walgreens; and 60+ hours taking my teen daughter out for driving practice before she gets her license.
Both yard signs were homemade pro Trump signs. I have NOT seen a Biden yard sign.
I've seen a few Biden bumper stickers and no Trump ones.

(16,952 posts)I'm seeing more Biden signs than I did Hillary, and fewer signs for BunkerBoy than I did 4 years ago.
In 2016 I would have said 90% BunkerBoy - 10% Hillary
This year (so far) 60% BunkerBoy - 40% Joe
BUT the significant part is that there are so fewer MAGAT signs, I mean like, 80% fewer!!!!!! They may still vote for him, but they're ashamed to admit it!

(5,695 posts)Our immediate area consists of three towns. Newburyport: ultra liberal. Lots of BLM signs. One or two Trump signs, no Biden signs. Salisbury: skews conservative. No BLM, some Trump, no Biden. Amesbury: pretty much split down the middle. Some BLM, a couple of Trump, no Biden. However: when we go shopping to Seabrook, NH, there's a car repair shop (mostly rust buckets sitting in the lot) whose owner has to be THE biggest Trump humper on the North Shore. He has a 10x20 billboard where he proudly displays anti Democrats/pro Trump messages on an alternating basis. He's been at it for years, though. So we've stopped getting aggravated and generally just shake our heads and sigh as we pass the shop.

(10,749 posts)No president signs yet. Local races, most of which omit party affiliation.

ChoppinBroccoli
(3,786 posts)There are also about 20 other houses that have Black Lives Matter signs out, which I would bet you a shiny new dime are just as good as Biden signs.

(65,395 posts)There's a jerk who always has a PINO flag flying (always) and some ass north of town with a "Fuck Your Feelings" sign.
I've seen no signs for either, other than that.
