The Hillary voters are not enthusiastic about her, to the extent of putting up yard signs.
But the basic explanation for the dearth of Hillary yard signs is that her campaign is not spending money on them. Studies have shown that yard signs are not predictive on how an area votes, and anyway, according to polling, Hillary is way ahead in Virginia. Therefore, her campaign is no longer treating it as a battleground. |

I'm in northern Alexandria city and see plenty of Hillary-Timmay signs. Though I'm not surprised (being this far behind enemy lines), I still find those people to be shameful.
Surprisingly, I see quite a few Trump-Pence signs. I think a lot if it, too, has to do with people not being enthusiastic about either candidate or deal with any social stigma from supporting one or the other (I think this is especially true in my area...it's funny, nay, sad, that supporting the pant-suiter in chief is more socially acceptable than Trump). The more shit that comes out, I think people are just getting disgusted with the whole thing. |

Drove through great falls last weekend.
Saw about 8 Trump signs. One single Hillary sign. More Comstock signs than anything. People are just not enthused. |

More Comstock signs than anything. I drove out to Winchester for the N-SSA Fall Nationals this last Friday, and there were more Comstock signs along the way than Trump signs. (And there were plenty of Trump signs.) I don't believe I saw a single Hillary sign. Hillary is still going to win Virginia handily, because trees and acres don't vote, and the voters are concentrated in the cities. All the people that I know dislike Hillary, but they dislike Trump more. And very few of them are dyed-in-the-wool gun people. |

I've only seen one Hillary sign, and literally hundreds of Trump signs.
Even the few houses near me that usually have the democrat signs haven't put up Hillary signs, yet. |

I have seen a big decrease in yard signs and bumper stickers this election cycle. I maybe see a trump bumper sticker on one or two cars on my drive to work every day( 20 minutes down I64 on the peninsula) I have maybe seen 1 Hillary bumper sticker in the past month. Not seen any Hillary signs while out driving or in any yards in my neighborhood. I have only seen 2 houses around me that have trump yard signs.

I dont know what to believe as far as the polls go but from what the major media is saying I hope they are wrong.
Its really going to suck to see Hillary in the White House. Get out and vote!! Get your family out too. Staying at home is a vote for Hillary Voting 3rd party is a vote for Hillary |

Yard signs? They tell nothing when it comes to NoVA when you pass over I95. The liberal lemmings that live in all those apartment blocks don't have yards.
I saw a heck of a lot more Romney signs than Halfrican signs the last go round in the Springfield to Centerville area....How did that go for Fairfax County?

We have been so Balkanized along multiple lines (race, income, and many others) it is starting to fray at the edges.
It is time for a defenestration in Washintoon, D.C. |

I was in Nelson County over the weekend and I saw more C/K signs along the stretch of US-29 between I-64 and Lovingston than the total of what I have seen here in the Southside. Of course I saw a nearly equal amount of Trump/Pence signs too.

IMO we don't see a lot of Trump bumper stickers because Trump voters don't want their cars vandalized.

Va is permanently a blue state on the federal level, unfortunately. I have seen quite a few Trump signs here, but what surprised me more were the amount of Bernout signs when he was in the race. |

The Clinton ones were the first yard/ large signs I had seen. BUT just this past week I saw several small yard signs for her in Madison Heights, and a few in Bedford. She just doesn't have the support the media is claiming. And I personally have not put a Trump sticker on my Truck, because since I live in a large minority apartment complex, I know my tires would be slashed. However, none of my neighbors are actually planning on going and voting. They all think she is great, or that Kaine is some kind of messiah who saved Virginia, but not one is actually planning on going out and voting. |

Last election they said The Dems was gonna blow out Cuchinlli and it ended up being almost too close to call. I think the polls are very inaccurate nowadays becuase so few people own land lines anymore.

Winchester - All I see is Trump/Pence. The exit/on ramps for 37 is a great example
Commute - Route 7 into Leesburg I counted 20+ Trump signs, huge ones too. Only one L Bennett on someones lawn. I-66 same deal. Fairfax - Burke area, see Trump/Pence on lawns. Giant one on Burke Lake Rd onto Braddock which is a good spot. No Hillary I have yet to see in FFx Lots of Trump bumper stickers in FFx too, only see some Bernie ones, and a few Hillary For Prison stickers 
Thats my AO report. |

Today westbound on Rt7 into Leesburg on the Rivercreek Pkwy overpass there was a group of people with Trump signs and flags jumping around and waving.
Seen two HRC signs in my hood recently. |

WTKR cited a quinipack poll that shows Clinton 50 to Trump's 38 here in VA with pot head gary taking the remaining few points.
How is this possible, did they just poll people in Old Town Alexandria?

I don't believe that. I'm not so sure Hillary takes VA either. Her side doesn't have enthusiasm. Consider that a lot of NOVA and the 757 are professionals with various security clearances. Even life long Dems in this group have been taking issue with the FBIs unwillingness to prosecute........Oh wait! That investigation was just reopened. This is a real issue for Clinton in VA of all places. |

I drove down from PA yesterday, and I didn't see many signs in either direction. The only place that had a lot of signs, and mostly Hillary, was around Palmyra.

Virginia is probably going to be a bit more of a challenge for Trump than some other "swing" states like Nevada and Colorado, but it's definitely in play.
Ignore the media - they are putting out skewed polls specifically to suppress the Trump vote by convincing you that it's hopeless. It's not - stop taking your enemy's propaganda as advice. Go out and vote - it will matter. If you don't believe me, ask yourself how many pollsters thought that Gillespie would come as close as he did to beating Warner in 2014. |

I live in NOVA but am down in the 757 area for work right now. Very few Clinton signs and an equal number of Trump signs in an area of Portsmouth that I would imagine went heavily for Obama four years ago. I'm feeling good about our chances - do not give up! Go vote!
