Hillary is very unpopular here it seems. Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primary over Hillary.
I noticed that as all the Bernie yard signs were coming down after he left the race, they were not being replaced by Hilary signs. In the parts of the city I frequent, I've noticed more Gary Johnson signs than anyone else.

Since I live and work in Hamilton County I rarely make it south of 96th St. But I've hardly seen any yard signs so far for any office. I'm very surprised. I do remember seeing a handful of Bernie signs but I don't think I've seen a single Hillary sign yet. I have seen three or four Trump signs in Carmel. I don't think I've come across any Gary Johnson ones.

I would like to put up a yard sign for the candidate(s) I support, but frankly given how heated this campaign has been, I don't want to risk property damage by any overzealous supporters of the opposing candidate.

I feel like Hillary's biggest problem here is that Bernie put in so much effort to win the state. He really alienated a lot of people away from her. There were also many people here who already hated her. If Bernie were running instead, I'm guessing the race would be a toss up considering all of the ignorant comments that Donald Trump has made, along with his pick of Mike Pence as VP. A lot of Bernie supporters I know refuse to vote for her, and are just indifferent to the possible consequences of a Trump presidency. I'm voting for her because I can't sit by and let a bigot take America over, but that's not enough for me to put her bumper sticker on my car.

Reporting from the south side (Franklin township), most of the signs in this area are overwhelmingly pro Trump / Pence and local republican candidates. Further away from Indianapolis is all Trump / Pence. The only anti Trump / Pence signs I have seen are towards the city center neighborhoods (mostly anti Pence signs) I have also seen some pro Gary Johnson signs around the Irvington neighborhood. As someone who had lived in several states besides Indiana, I am surprised about how weak the democrats ground game is in the state, even within Indianapolis, given the high stakes in this election year. It seems to me that at least Indiana, and maybe a large portion of the Midwest, will go for Trump / Pence. So this election will be decided by the extent to which coastal states can counterbalance this.

Not even in the Boston area, where I visited earlier this summer, I saw any Hillary signs (or Trump for that matter). Most of the signs I saw around there were either for Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. I agree with you that locally most non Trump / Pence signs I have seen are for Gary Johnson. I guess that speaks volumes about the weak ground game of the Clinton campaign, and more reason to believe that Trump / Pence will get Indiana.

Hillary is not going to win Indiana. It's not even considered a battleground.

Americans can't bet (legally) but if I could I'd bet on Ohio.

FWIW, I've seen quite a few Gregg yard signs around Indy.

John Gregg and negative references to Pence far outnumber any other type of political sign I've seen around the urban areas of town.
