97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro.

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.
This week, Tom and Aaron discuss the fallout from last week’s CNN report on controversial comments made on a pornographic message board by GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson. Tom says Josh Stein was already well ahead in the governor’s race, so the real question is whether the revelations will hurt other GOP candidates: he says it probably won’t affect Donald Trump, but it may lead some voters to think twice about down-ballot Republicans they don’t know much about. (As for the presidential race? Still tied.)
