Mark Robinson talks education and transportation funding with Channel 9

Depending on which poll you look at, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is down between five and 14 points in the race for North Carolina Governor; but he told Channel 9 he’s looking at something else around the state.

“We’re more inclined to think those polls are not very accurate, because I can tell you this, no matter where we go in this state, we’ve got huge support all across the state, and the folks that we’re talking to are all saying the same thing,” Robinson told Channel 9′s Hunter Sáenz in an exclusive interview. “Whoever’s doing those polls, they aren’t polling us.”

Robinson spoke with Sáenz about several issues affecting North Carolinians that he could have the final say on if he’s elected as the next governor. On Friday, we told you about his stance on abortion.
