I live in one of the bluest of blue states. I have seen many Trump signs in my travels. Only one sign for Pickles.
In most of the reliable polls, Trump is down by four or five. That is hardly a “trouncing”. The are using the damned NBC/WSJ poll, which is skewed to Democrats, had a small sample, and is owned by people who work for Clinton. /What would you expect??
Does the ground game trump the signs or is it the other way around?
