POL Lack of campaign signs?

We're 6 months from the election and in our area near Ocala, I haven't seen hardly any campaign signs. There's the usual Trump flags that have been around since the last election but I don't recall seeing a single new Trump or Biden sign and very few political signs for Congress or local stuff.

Is it just our area or are people figuring it's a waste of resources to fight a fixed election? Maybe they know the fix is in. Maybe they don't expect to have an election (again!)?

I've seen some people flying pro-Trump flags at their homes, but no yard signs for either candidate anywhere around here. I don't really see any pro-biden signs or flags anymore either.

I've seen nothing new. There are a handful of Trump signs but they are from the last election. We do have a "Trump store" in a small town nearby and all they do is sell Trump stuff. I think it's been open about a year or so.

In my opinion it is still a bit early for lawn signs to be popping up. We don't even know yet, who Trump's VP is going to be (and he needs to get on that). I will say this, that the ones that homeowners put up from scratch, not the little signs, are for the most part still up and in good repair. One guy a few miles down has a huge FJB on the side of a garage that he lights up from time to time. Once labor day hits, or maybe just a bit before, they'll start showing up.

Many biden supporters don't have yards.

Most of the commie bumper stickers I see are on raggedy POS econoboxes that are at least 15 years old and look like they have been in a demolition derby.

Some signs around here, but the street corners aren't saturated.

They are all for local elections.

Normal people usually don't get too excited about elections until after the summer is over. One of the neighbors has been flying a big Trump flag on his mailbox pole down on the road since 2020, but that's about it.

Haha...just the fact that it's never been vandalized says a lot about the community here. The rural townships always vote Republican (like in this spring's primary). The towns and cities are rat's-nests of Democrats.

Okrahoma, lot of people register D, but vote R.

In the last few years, I've noticed that candidates never put their party affiliation on signs.

Even the colors are ambiguous, most signs are red and blue.

That's what I am seeing in Atlanta area.

I DID note that I saw several of these:

..."zip tied" to chain link fences on abandoned or unoccupied businesses along Roswell Road, and I am pretty certain there was no permission granted" to do so.

No signs here but a lot of mailers. What I notice is that there is no indication of party affiliations - which is good. It causes me to research names and to learn about them.

Mostly out here the signs are for the sheriff's race. I'm actually writing a letter to the editor for my guy, who spent YEARS trying to get the county to fix a road out here. Meanwhile, my folks are voting for the current undersheriff, who gave them a ride home after a car accident. This time it's less about politics than our own experiences, which is nice. I can't blame them for voting for the guy who personally helped them, and they can't blame me for the same reason.

Here we have campaign signs everywhere, I guess they are going for the major population hubs.
we are also getting piles of campaign mail and reading the stuff they accuse each other of supporting Woke agenda. illegal aliens, big tech censoring of we the people, sex changes for kids.
I have a stack of this mail and I'm using it to compile a list of who not to vote for.

I've not seen any signs in my area. The test messages though are insane. I probably get at least 10 a day trying to get me to donate to so and so.

There are not many signs around here which is surprising because we have governor, legislative as well as presidential coming up in Nov. Last time, signs for Republican candidates were stolen from my yard and others around town. I haven't seen the neighbor around the corner FJB out either. Actually, that one is a large banner.

There are some diehard Trump supporters around here and they display very large Trump signs all the time. A couple of them are businesses.

See a few people that have bumper stickers for the other side, but no lawn signs.
