Poll shows little interest in Biden or Trump reelection

 Chris Queen:

The warning signs are all over the place that a second Joe Biden presidential run could spell disaster for the Democrats — not to mention the rest of the country. Polls have shown time and time again that Americans aren’t happy with what he’s doing to the country.

It may be worse than anybody thought. A new Harvard CAPS-Harris poll came out Friday with blisteringly bad numbers for the Biden administration. The biggest takeaway from this poll is that a whopping 71% of those surveyed don’t want Joe Biden to make a second run at the Oval Office. Interestingly enough, 61% of those surveyed also said they didn’t want Donald Trump to run in 2024.

The reasons for not wanting a second Biden term vary wildly among voters.

“Among the contingent of respondents who believe the president should not run, 45 percent said Biden should not make another bid because he is a bad president, while about one-third of respondents said he is too old and about one-quarter said because it is time for a change,” reports The Hill.

Dang! Nearly half of those surveyed say that Biden shouldn’t run again because he’s a bad president. His approval rating in the poll was a dismal 38%. Since only 29% want him to run again, that means that there are 9% who approve of him yet still don’t want a second term. It doesn’t get much more painful than that.

...

Nearly two-thirds of voters believe that Congress should focus on other issues than the Jan. 6 riot. Slightly over half believe that the riot was a peaceful protest that took a violent turn, but 61% also hold that groups like the Proud Boys pre-planned some of the action that day.

...

The story does not provide the rationale for the anti-Trump polling and there are other polls out there that show him defeating Biden if they run against each other.  I do think that those who are focused on Jan. 6 do so as a means to block Trump from running.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

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
