Meredith College political science professor David McLennan on top-of-the-ticket political races

With North Carolina being one of the most important and hotly contested states in the upcoming November election, national and state-based pollsters are carefully and regularly monitoring voter attitudes and public opinion trends. And as News & Views listeners are well-aware, one of the best and most reliable experts in this realm is Meredith College political science professor and pollster David McLennan.

Recently NC Newsline’s Rob Schofield caught up with David to check in on the state of the presidential and gubernatorial races as well as what North Carolinians are thinking about some current hot button issues, including laws that make it hard from some citizens to vote and the advent of legal online sports gambling in our state.
