What We’re Thinking

Megan Rapinoe leads Trump 42-41 in a hypothetical presidential head-to-head – which leads Tom to conclude that “electability” really shouldn’t be that big of an issue for Democrats.

A new PPP survey of North Carolinians shows a close race for President, a narrowing race for governor – and widespread bipartisan support for LGBT rights.

Tom and Aaron examine two polls with provocative results – but less-than-reliable methods. Also, the Democratic presidential field narrows (or maybe not), and UNC baseball gets ready for Auburn.

Tom breaks down the public-opinion numbers surrounding abortion, Thom Tillis’ primary challenger, and why Democrats shouldn’t be too concerned about “electability” in the presidential primary.
