Going to work it's too dark. On the way home (different route), mostly industrial and commercial but in the residential 2 Kerry(same lawn), 0 Bush, quite a few for locals like Weldon and Pileggi.
The big surprise is my immediate neighborhood which always has at least 70% of the lawns posted with GOP posters. This year nada, zip, zero. I wonder if it's a change of heart that they'd rather not broadcast or maybe fear of publicly backing Bush?? :confused:

Fascinating.

This guy's yard is now sporting signs for Specter and Weldon (the incumbent Republican US Senator and US Representative respectively), but none for Bush/Cheney.

It's hard to believe he wouldn't have a Bush sign out there if he wanted one.

My town in Colorado is covered with lawn signs. By far the greatest number of them are for Michael Merrifield, a democrat up for re-election to the Colorado State Legislature (I mentioned him in another thread). In the Republican stronghold of Colorado Springs, I count on the average 3 Kerry signs for every one Bush sign. Astonishing!

Speaking of nonscientific polls, let's mention Gallup. ;) They've got a peculiar formula for likely voters, that results in the following predicted voting demographics:

Total Weighted Sample: 557 Likely Voters
(2000 exit poll actual results in parentheses)
Conservative: 41% (29%)
Moderate: 41% (50%)
Liberal: 18% (20%)

GOP: 39% (35%)
Dem: 35% (39%)
Ind: 25% (27%)

Over $75,000: 32% (28%)
$50-75,000: 16% (25%)
$30-50,000: 26% (24%)
$20-30,000: 11%
Under $20K: 9%

White: 85% (81%)
NonWhite: 15% (19%)
Black: (a subset of NonWhite) 8% (10%)
