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.


Tom and Aaron discuss the state of the GOP presidential race – which is pretty much over at this point – and look ahead to the general election. Also, Tom discusses the state of the GOP race for North Carolina governor – which is also not particularly close, despite several high-profile candidates still in the running.
