Time for yet another unofficial, unscientific, random yardsign poll

Ok folks its time for yet another revised yard sign poll. I keep a tally as I drive the highways and byways of rural SW Washington and NW Oregon for work. I don't make into the big cities like Portland or Vancouver. like last month, this route did take me a bit further east than before. To help pass the time, I count candidates yard signs. Here is last weeks total.

Hillary 6
Bernie 0
Trump 51
Gary Johnson 11
Jill Stein 10

From a month ago,

Hillary 5
Bernie 4
Trump 33
Gary Johnson 10
Jill Stein 12

Bernie signs are history, Hillary, Jill and Gary seem to be holding steady. Trump signs sprouted like mushrooms....must be the fertilizer.

On my bike commute through residential neighborhoods, I see the following yard signs:

Trump: 0
Hillary: 1
Johnson: 1 (in front of a business)
Stein: 0

I live in a blue-collar neighborhood where a sizeable percentage of folks own large pick-up trucks. There are exactly zero candidate signs on my (admittedly not too long) road. I ride through a small commercial area and then a very wealthy neighborhood with large houses. One of the large houses did have Ben Carson signs, at one point, but there is nothing there now.

Edit: I forgot to add a Hillary sign (surrounded by US flags) that recently popped up...

Went through Maryland, Pennsylvania, West VA, and Eastern, Ohio.

I saw dozens of trumps signs and zero Clinton.

Shockingly, Maryland had the most.

The last week I've seen 2 Trump signs, I can't remember a Hillary sign. I think I saw one a few weeks ago. It doesn't even look like there is an election going on here in Pittsburgh.

There is a rural intersection here with probably 20 signs between national, state and local candidates. A good year to be in the sign making business.

HRC's 'basket of deplorables' is more correct than not IMHO.

Than ever before. Most of what I do see are signs for States Attorney or city council. I see a handful of of homes advertising their stupidity, bigotry and racism with drumpf signs. A smattering of Hillary signs.

I think it has gotten to the point where many people are afraid of vandalism, or worse, if they display signs. It's why I don't have any this cycle. Too many idiots running loose in down state Illinois.
