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.


This week, we take advantage of the fact that Tom is both a renowned expert on public opinion and a Tar Heel baseball superfan. First, Tom and Aaron discuss Donald Trump’s recent felony conviction – which doesn’t appear to be having any meaningful impact on public opinion or the dynamic of the upcoming election. Then, they turn their attention to UNC baseball, which is still basking in the glow of Monday’s epic extra-inning comeback win over LSU to advance to the NCAA Super Regional.
