Riiight... because Americans who live in urban areas aren't "ordinary people". Hey, I bet they aren't actually "Real Americans" either.

In case it isn't already clear from the subtext in the OP, I'll make the point plainly: the rural/urban divide cuts both ways.

Sort of.
People are influenced somewhat by the opinions of others in their community, and noticing the number of yard signs for candidates is a low-risk way of gauging the prevailing sentiment.
