Poll finds a majority that approve of Trump's handling of the economy

The Hill:
A majority of U.S. adults said they approve of President Trump's handling of the economy in a CNBC All-America Economic Survey released Monday.

Fifty-one percent of adults said they approved of Trump's performance on the economic front, the first time the poll has shown approval from more than half of respondents since the president took office. Thirty-six percent of poll participants said they disapproved of Trump on the economy.

Approval of Trump's handling of the economy has increased since March, when the CNBC survey found 45 percent support.

Fifty-four percent of respondents in the most recent poll said the economy is excellent or good, which CNBC said is the highest level it's found in the survey's 10-year history.

Forty-eight percent of adults said the economy has improved over the past year, while 13 percent said it's gotten worse and 35 percent said it's stayed the same. Of those who said they think the economy has gotten better, 55 percent gave Trump the most credit, while 12 percent give former President Obama the most credit and 5 percent credited congressional Republicans.
...
Trump's personal approval has not kept pace with this policies, but that should be no satisfaction for  Democrats who still trail on the issues that usually decide elections.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
