Trump out polls Biden in three way and two way race

 Robert Romano:

Former President Donald Trump would prevail in a three-way race against President Joe Biden and Robert Kennedy, Jr., running as an independent, according to the latest Harvard-Harris poll taken Oct. 18 to Oct. 19.

Trump leads with 39 percent to Biden’s 33 percent and Kennedy’s 19 percent, and 9 percent unsure. When those who are uncertain are removed from the poll, it becomes Trump with 42 percent, Biden with 36 percent, and Kennedy with 22 percent.

With leaners, Trump garners 9 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of Republicans, and 37 percent of independents.

Biden gets 69 percent of Democrats, 5 percent of Republicans, and just 28 percent of independents.

Kennedy garnered 22 percent of Democrats, 15 percent of Republicans, and 35 percent of independents.

All told, Biden is losing independents in the three-way race 72 percent to 28 percent. That’s pathetic.

Kennedy, who had been running as a Democrat until recently, has opted to run as an independent, claiming that as an independent, he would pull more from Biden than he does Trump.

In a hypothetical two-way race, Biden only improves marginally, still losing to Trump 52 percent to 48 percent with leaners. In that scenario, Trump gets 15 percent of Democrats, 92 percent of Republicans, and 54 percent of independents. And Biden gets 85 percent of Democrats, 8 percent of Republicans, and 46 percent of independents.

That means, without Kennedy in the race, Trump picked up 10 points, and Biden picked up 12 points. And even then, Trump is still leading.
...

Liberals may be surprised at this result, but I am not.  Trump was clearly a better president than Biden on both domestic and foreign policy issues.  The media may hate him, but there are enough the voters who do not hate him to put him ahead.

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
