That doesn't mean squat. Once you leave the DC suburbs and drive to rural Maryland, you hardly see a Hillary sign and Trump signs are everywhere. However, Trump has <0.1% of winning Maryland per 538. Conversely, in suburban DC and Baltimore, you see precious few signs from either candidate, yet Trump will struggle to get more than a handful of votes in these areas. Similarly, Trump may have a lot of yard signs in redneck/rural areas of central Florida, but that means nothing about how the population centers of Florida will vote.
