In part of swing state Michigan, neighbors skip presidential signs in a heated campaign season
Nick Hannawa has more than a half-dozen election signs lining the yard around his suburban Detroit home
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The lawn of Nick Hannawa's suburban Detroit home is lined with political signs backing candidates for prosecutor, supervisor and local trustee. But Hannawa isn't promoting his presidential pick.
He says he doesn't want the headaches in an polarized election year.
In this part of swing state Michigan, many of Hannawa's neighbors in upper-middle class and affluent neighborhoods have a similar attitude about a public display on behalf of their preferred presidential candidate. It's easier, they say, to opt out of this once-typical show of support outside their house.
“Some people love Donald Trump. Some people hate Donald Trump,” said Hannawa, 37. “I voted for Donald Trump. I’m going to vote for Donald Trump again. If I put that sign in my yard again, is it really going to make a difference or is someone not going to like me?”
