This week, Tom shares new numbers showing Democrats with a four-point edge in this year’s midterm – but that could become a 10-point edge, if anti-Trump undecideds end up voting against the president. That could potentially produce a ‘blue wave’ election even bigger than 2018 – even putting control of the North Carolina State House in play – but only if Democrats are able to cash in on their advantage, by keeping the focus on economic issues (and actually working to convince undecided voters that they’ll do a better job than Trump has). 97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro.

Trending today: a YouGov survey on Americans’ favorite and least-favorite condiments, which gets Victor and Aaron discussing their own. (Not to mention what the definition of a “condiment” is in the first place. Does peanut butter count? Victor says no, but he can’t quite put his finger on why.)
