Even Dems are uncertain about polls showing Harris beating Trump

 Newsmax:

Senate Democrats are expressing concerns that recent polls have undercounted support for former President Donald Trump as several recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading the Republican, The Hill reported.

More than a dozen polls released this month from outlets including NBC News, CBS News, Fox News, and the New York Post show Harris with a slim lead over Trump nationwide, while others, from outlets including Rasmussen Reports and Atlas Intel, show Trump in the lead or the two candidates tied, according to RealClearPolitics.

Despite these results, several Senate Democrats voiced their concerns over the weekend that these surveys may undercount the Trump vote, with many noting that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton similarly outperformed Trump in many polls leading up to her loss in the 2016 presidential election.

"Polling has really been seriously damaged since 2016. And that's one of the truths, is that Trump is going to be tough in Pennsylvania, and that's absolutely the truth," Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said on NBC News in an interview over the weekend.

One Democrat senator, whose name was withheld by The Hill so they could speak candidly, said it's "ominous" and "concerning" that Harris isn't polling as well as Clinton and President Joe Biden were before the 2016 and 2020 elections, respectively.

The senator added that pollsters have difficulty when conducting surveys about Trump, saying that many of his supporters don't want to talk with pollsters or don't want to discuss their political views.

While I have not heard from any pollsters recently readers of this blog know I support Trump.  When you look at his record in office he was far more successful than Biden in controlling inflation and in world affairs.  I view Harris as actually worse than Biden.  She is not remotely intelligent enough for the job.   Her instincts are for radical policies of the left and she sometimes abandons them for a time because of polling.  I think Fetterman is probably one of the smarter Democrats.

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
