49. More bumper stickers now than during the primaries

I am in NC and in TN. I have not seen a single yard sign for any presidential candidate in either state. Not that many bumper stickers either, and they're rarely actually on the bumpers these days. So far, a few for Trump in TN and a couple in NC; one Cruz early in TN.

Have seen a couple for Hillary just in the last month, one in each state. They were the small (about 4 inch) "stealth" ones with just the H logo. They are easily missed. Seems like there was one regular Hillary sticker back during the primary in NC.

There were a few Bernie stickers back then, mostly in NC. I have seen a big increase in the number for Bernie just the last month in TN and in NC. Several dozen seen after the race was supposedly over.

Still a lot more Obama stickers around than all the others combined. Hell, I've probably seen more leftover Romney stickers than I have ones for Trump.

Don't know that any of this means anything. Maybe that bumper stickers and window decals have gone out of style. I did recently see a "Baby on Board".
