Maybe Trump's support has faded around here?

 


Political signs are probably a poor indication of how a candidate is doing. The Trump supporters are definitely more active, with the flags and banners, but generally don't see many political signs overall. Maybe it's the lack of a town council election. Local candidates are usually sign-crazy.

I'm sure there's some Biden signs, but can't recall any.
