Poll has contradictory results on 2024 race for president

 NY Post:

President Biden would expand his 2020 margin of victory over former President Donald Trump if a rematch were held today, according to a new poll exclusively shared with The Post Wednesday.

The WPA Intelligence survey of 1,571 registered voters found Biden, 80, leading 76-year-old Trump 47% to 40%. By comparison, Biden defeated Trump by 4.5 percentage points in the 2020 popular vote, while former President Barack Obama won re-election over Republican Mitt Romney by 3.9 percentage points in 2012.
...

Only 39% of registered voters have a favorable impression of the commander-in-chief, with 54% having an unfavorable impression.

Also, just 22% believe the country is on the right track, whereas 78% believe it is on the wrong track.

However, Trump’s ratings are even worse, with 32% of registered voters having a favorable impression compared to 62% with unfavorable impressions.

The 45th president fared even worse among independents, with just 21% having a favorable impression and 71% having an unfavorable impression.
...

It is not clear when the polling was done, but it is likely that some of it was before the Durham report was released showing how Democrats and the FBI pushed the fraudulent Russian collusion hoax.  Republicans challenging Trump for the nomination were not mentioned in this report.

 Even Amid Trump’s Legal Troubles, His Lead Widens: I&I/TIPP

...

 As USA Today wrote, “in a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup, Biden is falling behind Trump, with 44% of voting-age respondents saying they would either ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ vote for Trump while 38% say the same for Biden. Meanwhile, 18% are undecided.”

Biden’s age and mental health issues are major problems. In the Post-ABC poll, just 32% said he has the “mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president” and 33% said he’s “physically fit to serve.”

Meanwhile, 64% say Trump is physically fit enough to be president, and 58% say he’s mentally fit enough. It’s a very bad comparison for Biden. In a head-to-head matchup, Trump beats Biden 49% to 42%.

Worse still, potentially, for Biden is the ongoing congressional probe into allegations that he was bribed by foreign nations while serving as vice president under Barack Obama.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
