Final push: What does the polling say as early voting begins in N.C.?

This week, host Tim Boyum returns to the studio after a recent road trip, sitting down with the region’s top pollsters to talk about the election as early voting begins and campaigns begin their final push. 

Tom Jensen, from Public Policy Polling, and Dr. Scott Huffmon, from Winthrop University, are on hand with the latest trends in the presidential race, explaining why they’re spending so much of their time in the Tar Heel state. Both pollsters believe this will be an election where it will take a few days to find out who America's next president will be because of either the thin margins, or the lawsuits because of the thin margins from either candidate.

There’s also a conversation about Mark Robinson’s numbers following the recent controversy surrounding his campaign, though both agree the governor’s race will end up being lopsided based on recent data. The two also crunch some numbers on some of North Carolina’s top races.
