I see Trump signs all over
I have seen very few hilLIARy signs (only one, that I can recall)
Here in West Suburban Chicago area, I see no signs at all for either candidate.
A surprising number of Trump yard signs considering the Democrat registration edge here is probably 6:1.
Very few Hillary signs. When you see one you know the resident of the house is either a public school teacher or a public union employee hack.
I think yard signs of Bernie fans who are still hanging in there outnumber Hillary.
I have not seen any. I don’t plan to put up any Trump signs because I don’t want to deal with vandals. I work in the Montrose area of Houston (artsy-fartsy gay section of town) and I have not even seen any Hillary posters in the area as I drive to and from work.
I’m surprised that the ardent marxists next door don’t have a sign out. They always did no matter the dim candidate.
The purpose of a yard sign is to to try to persuade others to vote for a presidential candidate, the purpose of a yard sign is to increase the likelihood that the person who put up the yard sign does go out to vote for that candidate.
IMHO, it’s the calm before the storm.
The signs, if any, are probably left over from the primaries.
Signs and stickers are in short supply, except for a few “Stop Hillary” stickers.
Look for a big increase in campaign material around Labor Day.
I’ve seen a lot fewer signs than normal, too. I pass one home that has a Trump sign in the yard and I’ve seen some Bernie bumper stickers. I have yet to see any Hillary signs. People don’t seem to be very enthusiastic about either candidate.
I recently commented to my wife that even in deep blue California where I live there are NO Hillary yards signs or bumper stickers to be seen.
Recent travels to Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Detroit I counted 8 Trump yard signs, bumper stickers or t-shirts vs 2 Clinton yard signs or campaign button.
There is absolutely no enthusiasm for the witch
I think the election is so contentious and the attacks of Trump supporters at rally’s are unnerving. I have a #TrumpTrain bumper sticker that I haven’t put on my car because I don’t want it to get vandalized.
Haha. That’s right. Prius driver almost always have a Hillary or Bernie sticker.
My son has a Trump yard sign. Once one house on the street put them up, 4 popped up overnight from neighbors, all Trump.

Have seen no yard signs. I wondered if perhaps there would be more put out after Labor Day.
It's early. Will know more after Labor Day, when people start paying closer attention to the elections.
“Here in West Suburban Chicago area, I see no signs at all for either candidate.”
Trump supporters in the Western Suburbs (I live in one, although I will hopefully soon be escaping to FL), are afraid to put out Trump signs as they will be trashed or stolen, or set on fire. Lots of immigrants (many from the Middle East and South American countries) now live in the suburbs, moving out of Chicago and/or imported by Obama to pollute the surrounding burbs. It’s getting bad out here in the burbs. Our local Walmart is now like the Tower of Babel, speaking in many tongues, both the workers and the customers.
But I tell you folks, there is a huge hidden Trump vote out here, and all over the country, that will emerge in the voting booths of November to speak their collective minds. We have this one last chance to take back our country. So I hope there are enough of us left. Otherwise, eventual revolution one day.

I think you are right on the money. Voters are scared to show who they are voting for but in 2012 the die hard Democrats weren't afraid to put their signs up all over the place. Maybe that says something too. Maybe there aren't that many RAT voters this time. GO TRUMP!!
