Are you seeing any political signage?

I'm in rural western PA and it's registering with me that I'm seeing remarkably few yard/intersection signs this primary. I'm seeing a scattering of Trump signs and that's it--no Hillary/Bernie signs and nothing at all for the down-ticket races.

2. I think many of us have found political signage to be problematic

I'm also in a rural area and find that any signage left of Hitler is a target for vandalism. My End This/Endless War stickers have actually drawn gunfife.

In Mt. Lebanon about 60-40 for Bernie. Don't go much into the City, so don't know what's going on there. What County are you in & who's your Congressman?

Down ticket I've seen some Shapiro signs, none for the Allegheny County DA.

And a few for local elections. (I am in a rural area of Westmoreland Co.)

If I had a Sestak sign, I would put it in my yard though!

I'll be taking the one I have in my yard to my polling place at 6 a.m. on election day. Others are at outlet of Waterworks Mall and along Freeport Road. In my travels farther out on Route 28 and in some small towns out there, saw nary a single sign for anyone of either party. Wonder if they're switching to social media?

In my Allegheny Aounty community we do have a lot of signs for Doyle (Congress) & Zappala (Attorney General) -

On Friday, in 100 miles of driving each way I saw three Trump signs and two Fetterman signs. I saw some signs for local races. The trip is all on two lane roads with houses/farms. Very surprised to see so few signs.

...slightly more signs for Hillary than for Bernie, but very, very few signs at all.
I see no signs at all for The Donald or for Cruz.
