Minority voters fleeing Biden

 Washington Examiner:

When President Joe Biden narrowly defeated Donald Trump in 2020, he carried 87% of the black vote and 65% of the Latino vote while losing white voters 41% to 58%. 

Now, multiple recent polls show Biden’s support among minority voters collapsing, including just 63% of black people in the most recent USA Today poll and 66% in the latest New York Times poll. Both polls also show Trump outright winning Latinos, including by a 46% to 40% advantage for Trump in the New York Times poll.

As much as it might be tempting to blame these numbers on Biden’s age or Trump’s celebrity appeal, Gallup numbers that track party identification show similar, if not yet as dramatic, shifts among black people and Latinos away from Democrats and toward Republicans.

Just four years ago in 2020, an overwhelming 77% of black people told Gallup that they considered themselves Democrats compared to just 11% who said Republican. That margin has slipped to 66% Democrat and 19% Republican today. Among Latinos, in 2020, 57% said they were Democrats compared to 29% who said they were Republican. Now, just 47% of Latinos consider themselves Democrats, and the percent saying they were Republican has risen to 35%. 

Biden’s performance in office is assuredly playing a large role in driving these numbers. Despite what Democrats and their media allies may claim, Bidenomics has not been good for minority voters. Sure, gross domestic product may be up, and the stock market is near all-time highs, but aggregate GDP numbers don’t put food on the table, and few working-class minority families own stocks.

...

Biden has dramatically increased inflation and that is hard to ignore especially for minorities.  The tax increases Biden is proposing are also a problem.

 GOOD NEWS FROM VOTER REGISTRATION DATA

It is always fun to get good news from the New York Times, which always try to spin the data so it doesn’t look too bad for Democrats. A case in point: “Share of Democratic Registrations Is Declining, but What Does It Mean? Virtually every group of voters under 70 has become less likely to register as Democrats compared with Republicans since 2019.”

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
