My anecdote. Drove by a polling place on my way to work in Salem VA where Trump had a rally this past weekend....

Solidly red area. What stood out to me was that there were an equal number of signs out front; maybe even a few more Harris - Walz signs. This immediately stood out to me as unusual. In the past there would be way more Trump signs.

Maybe no significance at all...maybe a sign of things to come.

In 2016 and 2020 I saw very few Clinton or Biden signs, maybe zero in the former case when I drove through that area.

I went up to Bethlehem last weekend, a liberal college town, but surrounded by super red areas. I'd say it was close to 50:50 Harris and the Orange felon.
