Positive view from Erie PA [View all]

My wife is from Erie and still has most of her family here even though we live in California now. We're back here visiting and what I've seen has made me feel a lot better about Harris' chances here. In past elections if you drove around the neighborhoods there would be mostly Trump signs. Now driving through them these past few days I would say it's about 5 to 1 Harris to Trump on the sign count. It's really amazing to see just how many people are putting out Harris signs.

Of course this is anecdotal but it has definitely left me with a good feeling.
