Polls suggests Harris losing momentum

 The Hill:

The tides of the election are turning against Vice President Harris.

During the late summer and heading into fall, Harris appeared to be the candidate with the momentum, with Democrats comparing her candidacy to former President Obama’s 2008 run.

After President Biden dropped out of the race, Democrats had made gains in the polls, making up lost ground where Biden had stumbled.

But recent polls suggest that energy has leveled off. While Harris still has a narrow edge over former President Trump nationally and in several battleground states, she has been losing ground.

Poll numbers from Decision Desk HQ, for example, show she has lost 4 percentage points in the past month.

In the past two weeks, there has been a slight trend toward Trump in some of the battleground states.

In Wisconsin, for example, Harris went from leading Trump by 2 points to being tied.

In Michigan, she went from leading by 1 point to trailing by 1. And in Pennsylvania, Trump closed a 1-point gap to pull even with her.
...

The race is tighter than it should be.  Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate.  About all she has going for her is that she is not Joe Biden or Donald Trump.  Trump should have the benefit of his record of being a much more effective president who had better control of inflation and a more peaceful world.

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
