Informal Bumper Sticker Poll

[SHRED]

---

Of course it is about as informal of a poll as you can get but...

Out here in RED County USA (North San Diego County) I have noticed a stark difference from the past 2 elections and this one.
The last 2 were awash with "Bush/Cheney" and to a lesser extent "W-04" stickers.

This year the Obama stickers are everywhere and McCain stickers are few and far between.
That is so strange to see in this predominately WASP/Republican part of the country.

What about your area?
What have you seen?

1. In Western NC----> All Obama.

Lots of Obama bumper stickers, yard signs, and occasionally a car or truck covered in big Obama signs.

More than I can count. Probably near 100 Obama stickers since he clinched.

I have seen 2 mccain.

2. Here In Eastern Mass...

Use your imagination!

[polmaven]

9. Agreed.

There are very few presidential signs/stickers around here.

The few that are her are Obama, with some Ron Paul, and I have seen NO McCain, as I saw no Romney during the time he was in the race....

The stickers I am seeing most are "John Tierney", "Deval Patrick" and various mayoral or state rep stickers. People are apparently more interested locally than nationally.

14. There are still two Ron Paul signs in town.

And you are right! I never saw a single Romney sticker. If this fool is on their ticket, I may throw up.

[MannyGoldstein]

21. Eww. Which Town? n/t

[Rockholm]

22. Gloucester. I find it hard to believe, but there they are.

Swimming with Obama signs, however. Lots of them and lots of Obama bumper stickers.

17. They are ashamed but not repentant...

Testimony to this is the fact that McCain can poll over 28% in any of the national polls. I think that the Republicans are merely laying low and will come out of the woodwork like cockroaches after the memory of Bush-Cheney begins to fade in the national psyche. Of course, all the disasters caused by the Republicans will still be hanging over us like a black cloud but they will have convinced the electorate that it is all the fault of Democrats, gays, immigrants and people of color.

5. I forgot the yard signs

Yes...lots here too.

[patrice]

3. Eastern Kansas, there aren't a whole lot of stickers out there, but the ones that are = Obama. nt

[hobbit709]

4. Here in Austin-lots of Obama

and so far I've seen more W04 and Ron Paul than I've seen McCain.

6. I have seen 2 McCain - and a thousand Obama: North Carolina

and not to forget: under one of the McCain's was
"For a Rush - try Limbaugh"
:puke: :puke: :puke:

7. I've seen very little of any political signs... I think people are really broke..

and buying a sticker or supporting campaigns financialy are just not going to happen big time in Florida.. and if Obama doesn't start popping up a little more often, he's going to lose his appeal.. the M$M is doing a great spin job on him and because of our primary fiasco; many people just don't know enough about him... but they don't want McSame.. but he's been here so man times I'd like o puke.

8. New Jersey Coast....

...couple of Obama - no McCain.

No one seems to have a yard sign out yet.

[Historic NY]

10. I saw 2 * in the last week, one guy I know too.....

I want to ask him how things are working out for him in the concrete business.

[Squatch]

11. Here are mine:

I don't have any pictures, but here are the stickers I have on my motorcycle (my primary mode of transport):

Democratic Underground
US Army
US Army National Guard
Tail of the Dragon (x2)
Cherohala Skyway
Blue Ridge Parkway (x3)
Shenandoah National Park

On other peoples' cars, you get a smattering of Bush/Cheney 04 stickers, but I don't think I've seen any McCain stickers. I have seen a few Obama stickers.

[lame54]

12. Still lots of Bush/Cheney '04 stickers...

I just shake my head and ask "Still?"

[Rockholm]

13. Boston's North Shore.......

Many Obama bumper stickers (and a good number of leftover Hillary ones). In the past couple of days, I have seen two "W04" stickers. I have yet to see a single McSame sticker.

15. In Northwest Arkansas (the reddest area of the state)

I've seen exactly two bumper stickers involving the current election--both were for Obama. NO bumper stickers, NO yard signs even for McCain. This includes looking around Springfield MO as well as Arkansas. What I have seen and continue to see are LARGE Ron Paul signs. If Paul goes through with his "counterconvention" in Minneapolis and endorses the Libertarians or suggests a write-in vote for himself, you'll see a lot of defections from the GOP in his direction.

16. North of Dallas--overwhelmingly Republican county

An occasional Obama sticker
The ever-present W04 stickers, although less frequent than a couple years ago
Two Romney stickers

NOT A SINGLE McCain sticker. Zilch. Zero. Nada.

Oh, I forgot--once in a while I see a Ron Paul sticker.

[KharmaTrain]

18. I'm In Illinois...Do You Need To Ask?

I'm in a suburban area that used to be red then purple and is now solid blue...and I have yet to see a Gramps bumper sticker. A ride on any Chicago Expressway or major street and you'll see lots of Obama stickers. The only area where they may be hiding is in DuPage County...I recently saw an endangered "W" sticker on a gas hog.

The fun stickers out here are either the Paulbots...yep, they're still around...or taking a ride into the rural areas with the "Guns Saves Lives" burma shave signs.

[ThatsMyBarack]

20. Me, too!

If I see the ever-rare McCain sticker anywhere, I just laugh it off. They're as big a joke as the Ron Paul stickers still hanging around. :rofl: :patriot:

[HockeyMom]

19. SW Florida

A lot of Obama bumper stickers, a few Ron Paul, and zero McCain. This is a very red area and it surprised me the number for Obama.

I wore my Obama Mama tshirt shopping last week and got a lot of positive comments on it.

23. I drove 500 miles

up and back through the central valley of California. Did not see 1 McCain sticker. Not 1. Did see a couple of Ron Paul signs, though and one old Bush/Cheney sticker.

Around the San Francisco Bay Area there are a brazillion Obama stickers. Again, 0 for McCain. Zero, zilch, zip.

Obama is ahead by 24 points in CA. :bounce:

54 electoral votes. :bounce:

24. Rural Pennsylvania - my town population is 59

I have seen three other Obama bumper stickers and no McCain bumper stickers. I'm only counting the cars of people that I know live here. We have a huge bump in population in the summer months due to tourists.

25. Tucson Arizona - No McBush that I can remember

But I'm working from home and so don't leave the house much.
