Here in Nevada I see more enthusiam for Trump in terms of the amount of signs I see, local rallies, and local internet message boards.

You must be either South and/or Southwest of Fairfax, Loudon and even Prince William counties, where there are still real Americans who live in Virginia.

And fwiw, I live in an upscale, gated community. These are high income people with very expensive homes and Trump signs outnumber Biden signs at least 4 to 1. In this kind of community in California, anybody putting a Trump sign in their yard would be risking life and limb

Massive Trump car parade yesterday in Clearwater, FL. There has also been multiple Trump boat parades here.

Way more Trump flags/Signs around, but I have seen a decent bit of Biden ones popping up recently. Those yards also tend to have signs for other liberals , so I assumed they’d vote for anyone the dems through out there.

In Ohio, in the better neighborhoods was about 50/50 in 2016. No Trump signs to be seen in 2020 to tons of Biden signs, but the "no signs" have flags on their doors. If you go up a little or out in county its about 80 Trump to 20 Biden.

I early voted, in person for Trump along with my wife. Not much of a crowd for early voting in a more Republican area, but the media keeps showing huge lines in the urban areas.

Overall, seems pretty 50/50 and I'm less confident in 2020 than 2016, but Trumpers seem a LOT more silent this go-round, so it's hard to say. I still lean Trump for Ohio.

Here in California Bay Area: Outside of the bubble in parts of the east bay and north bay I’ll cross the out of place Tump flag, but outnumbered about 30-1 with Biden/Harris signs


Today I went to a store in Berkeley and between parking and walking 2 blocks I saw 4 or 5 different Biden face mask

Subtle brag

Seriously though, glad you finally got out of the shithole Communist California Republic.

Drove from Conway, SC to Loris, SC on Friday and saw 50+ Trump signs, flags and stickers in the 15 mile ride. Only saw 2 Biden signs. This is right near the NC border and some of the cars with Trump stuff had NC plates.

Wow that sounds bad. I’m praying for you sir but that is a godless place that has seen what democrats do and fallen off. A once great city has fallen apart and I pray for it to be great again, but I just don’t think it ever will. shite, Drugs, Homeless, rioting. I would fear for my life if I were you. I have a cousin who live in Chicago and I fear for his life everyday. He’s as conservative and as big of a trump supporter as I am, he tells the family all the time it’s not as bad as everyone says but I just don’t believe him. I know it’s very dangerous and there is crime all over, but he’s just trying to keep us feeling better that he doesn’t feel threatened. But deep down I know he does. so i pray for him

Would you not? It’s very dangerous there. Rioting, looting, crime is very high.
And this is all over not just in the ghetto

I don’t think there’s any chance he wins Virginia, but my sister lives in super liberal upper middle class Arlington, and she said that there are a number of people she knows that voted for Hillary in 2016 that are voting for Trump in 2020. absolutely no one in that area will say that out loud.

My neighbor, his wife and his dad voted for Trump and they did not vote for a presidential candidate in ‘16. Another person is voting Trump this time because of her 401k, think she voted Hillary last time. We’re in NC east of I 95 and all are 55 yo +.

Went into central, southern Virginia last week for a few days. Was really surprised by the number of Biden signs in the very rural areas. There were Trump signs also; just didn’t expect as many Biden signs in farm country.
It was probably 50/50 and I would have predicted 70% or 80% Trump.

Correct. Live in SW Virginia. It's a whole different region here than it is in NE Virginia.

I normally just lurk around here but want to throw my two cents since I was also in Virginia last week touring Civil War battlefields all up and down the Shenandoah Valley. My son and I thought there was at least 5-1 signage favoring Trump. I don’t think he’ll win VA by any means but was encouraged that all those folks in that area who are caretakers of so much history haven’t gone off the deep end yet like the rest of the state.
