I’m in southeastern PA and I see more bumper stickers for Obama than either of the ones running now.
In the past I would never have put a bumper sticker on my car because I think they’re ugly. Now a days I’d be worried to put a bumper sticker on my car because of how polarized and hatefilled both sides are these days. I don’t want a popped tire or a broken window.
San Diego, CA, and, yeah, I’ve seen a handful of Trump stickers. No Clinton stickers yet.
Live in Massachusetts had not seen any bumper stickers or yard signs. Judging from conversations I would have thought the election would be a landslide for Hillary. But I have just spent a week vacationing in central and tidewater Virginia. And the place is awash with Trump and and anti-Hillary signs. I’m very nervous now.
Maybe all the signs in Virginia are a desperate effort to reverse this.
Very few, and I echo the observation that all the Trump bumper stickers I have seen have been on pickup trucks. Generally fairly beat up pickup trucks.
There are more residual Bernie stickers around than either of the actual candidates.
In the backroads you can see a few proud Trump signs. I have noticed that a few Trump signs from the primary season have vanished and have not been replaced.
The best sticker I’ve seen was “We’re Screwed 2016”.
I’m in the Seattle area. I’ve seen many Bernie bumper stickers, one Trump, one “Hillary Lied, People Died,” and a few Hillary stickers. One of my neighbors has a Hillary sign in her yard, and I’ve sign lots of Bernie signs.
ETA: Both the Trump bumper sticker and anti-Hillary sticker were on pick-up trucks.
Mine was “Republicans for Voldemort”
There are none here in Indonesia, of course, but I just returned from a long trip to Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. I was quite surprised by the fact that I saw very few bumper stickers, and ZERO yard signs in any of the three states.
In my neighborhood, zero (signs or stickers). I’ve only seen a few stickers out and about, roughly equal numbers of Clinton and Trump. This is an odd election. Either people aren’t enthusiastic about either candidate, or (like me) they’re fatigued by the constant media bombardment and just want it to be over.
A few Trump, a few Hilary. I live in a blue area of a red state, so I’d think there’d be more, but there haven’t been.
A few yard signs here and there, but not many of those either - nowhere near as many as for the local election earlier this year.
I think its because neither campaign wants advertising or support; they only want MONEY.
If they gave them out (or gave you a way to work for one or earn one), there would be a lot more of them on the roads.
President Obama’s campaign in 2008 had program where if you passed on messages to 5 friends about houses holding support meetings in your town, they would mail you a car magnet.
It was a Brilliant program, but neither side seems to want to repeat that success this time around.
The campaign for someone who was an obscure nobody four years earlier is not going to be the same as the campaign for someone who has been world-famous for nearly a quarter of a century running against a similarly-situated person.
Neither candidate needs to lodge their name in people’s heads this time. Everybody already knows them. If you don’t know who Hillary Clinton is, you’re so detached that you’re not going to be voting in 2016.
I see a bunch of Trump stickers and signs. I am in North Carolina so, I figure that has something to do with it.
Massachusetts here. I see more Trump stickers here than Hillary. Usually on the backs of giant trucks totally inappropriate for city living or on the backs of vehicles from New Hampshire that drive in to take our commie jobs in this state and use our commie roads.
I saw a good number of Bernie stickers, too. The prototypical Berniemobile was either a Subaru or a Prius with 4 or 5 Bernie stickers and a few other leftie feel-good stickers.
Hillary…I think I’ve seen three or four Hillary stickers.
I think the message here is that the state will be holding its nose and voting for Hillary. But we won’t be happy about it and advertise it on our vehicles.
Now that I’ve started looking, I’ve seen quite a few Bernie stickers. Still none for Trump or Hilary.
Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you.
I’m just saying that if people want to see a lot more Blue on the beltway that isn’t a jackknifed tractor trailer of BIC Pens, a program like President Obama’s MIGHT make that happen.
I don’t recall seeing a single bumper sticker. I have seen Trump signs, nothing for Hillary.
Wait… I saw a truck the other day with a huge flag sticking up from the tailgate and I think it had a Trump bumper sticker.
Last week my wife and I drove from central Indiana through Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri. During the whole trip, we saw no Trump or Hillary bumper stickers. In fact, there were very few bumper stickers at all. They have fallen out of favor. Maybe this is because car’s bumpers are covered with painted body work now. Bumper stickers eventually have to be removed, and removal is more tricky and risky from paint, where you might leave scratches. On a chrome bumper, you could just use a metal scraper. Besides, a removed sticker leaves a spot where the paint didn’t fade under it.
There were exceptions, but not to the no-politics rule. There’s the occasional head-banger who blocks most of his back window with rock group stickers. Every trip shows us a Volvo or minivan with the whole back end decorated with greenhead stickers about wind power, solar, anti-pollution, namaste, and Save the Wales from the Welsh.
Here in Anderson, IN the few yard signs and window stickers are about local candidates, not national. There was a failed drive to dam up the White River for a recreational lake, and there were signs and stickers fur-and-agin’ that. The antis won, and Mounds Lake is dead in the (no) water.
