DeSantis up by 20 over Dem challengers

 Breitbart:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is leading his potential Democrat challengers by over 20 points, a University of North Florida (UNF) survey released Thursday found.

The survey, conducted by the Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) at UNF among Florida voters, shows the popular Republican governor widening his margins against his potential Democrat challengers, both of whom he leads by double digits.

His top potential challengers, Democrat Rep. Charlie Crist and State Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried lead the field of Democrat candidates, although Crist takes the edge among all, leading by 27 percent. Fried — a frequent DeSantis critic who once accused him of being absent while coronavirus cases rose in the state when in reality he was attending his wife’s cancer treatments — follows eight points behind with 19 percent.

However, DeSantis dominates both challengers. In a general matchup against Crist, DeSantis leads by 21 percentage points — 55 percent to the Democrat’s 34 percent. 

His lead expands even more when matched up against Fried, leading by 23 percentage points, or 55 percent to 32 percent. 

...

This has to be dispiriting for Democrats since they have devoted much of their efforts to attacking his freedom agenda in dealing with Covid.  When DeSantis won his last race for governor it was a much closer contest.

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
