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??

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%)
