97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every weekday morning, 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck chats with government officials, UNC scholars, business and nonprofit leaders, area musicians, and others in our community as they share their thoughts, their experience, and their expertise on the central issues of today. Click here to listen back to all of Aaron’s conversations – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” at 7:30 a.m. on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.

Every other Monday, Aaron is joined at 8:30 a.m. by Tom Jensen, the director of Public Policy Polling, for a longstanding regular segment called “What We’re Thinking,” looking at recent survey numbers and discussing what they tell us about American public opinion – election-related and otherwise.


It’s Election Day Eve – and we still have no idea who’s going to win the presidential election. What can we glean from early-voting results? Tom says North Carolina Republicans turned out for early voting at higher rates than usual – which is good news for Donald Trump, but not necessarily a guarantee he’ll win the state. The picture’s a little more muddled in other swing states – and some of those states take their time counting votes, so it’s very unlikely we’ll be able to call a winner until at least very, very, very late into Election Night.

Tune into 97.9 The Hill on Tuesday evening: Tom and Aaron will be in the studio beginning at 7:00 with Election Night coverage, reporting on the results as they come in, providing analysis, and speaking with some of the winning local candidates.
