South Jersey here as well. Light crowd but I was there very early. In and out in 5 minutes. I am in a fairly Republican town (we have no Dem on the ballot for council), but the surrounding county is pretty blue the closer you get to Philly. Still, I have not seen much overt support for Hillary, few signs and fewer bumper stickers. Obama/Biden was all over the place before. Trump Pence signs outnumber hers, and I also see a lot of pro-police/Blue Lives Matter signs, which I take as probably Trump voters.

I drove around my neighborhood a couple of days ago and looked for signs. One Trump sign, one Hillary sign. The Trump guy gets extra credit because in addition to the sign he painted "TRUMP" on his exterior wall.

I think this bodes well for Trump. Why? Well, if you were inclined in the past to put signs up but this time choose not to, there are a few possibilities.

  1. You don't like your candidate (i.e. weak support)
  2. You are uncomfortable with people knowing who you support
Because in South Jersey there are no social implications in supporting even the most leftist democrats, Hillary supporters won't be ashamed so they fall mostly into bin 1. That's a bad place to be. On the other hand Trump will have some in Bin 1 but I think most of his supporters fall into bin 2. I'll take support that will only show up in the voting booth over support that stays home.
