Trump polling well with young minority voters

 DC Daily Journal:

...

A new poll reveals that former President Donald Trump is gaining historic support from young minority voters, just weeks before Election Day.

According to the latest GenForward poll from the University of Chicago, released Wednesday, an impressive 26 percent of Black men aged 18 to 40 said they would vote for Trump — an undeniable shift from the overwhelming support Democrats have typically relied on from this demographic.

In contrast, only 12 percent of Black women said the same, showing a clear divide in gender support.

This is a major shift since the 2020 election, where Black voters backed Biden over Trump by a staggering nine-to-one margin.

Trump’s gains aren’t limited to Black men either.

He’s also making headway among young Latino men, with 44 percent saying they’d vote for him, up from about 38 percent in 2020.

Despite this momentum, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris still leads Trump overall in the poll, with a 47-35 edge, thanks to an oversampling of young voters of color.

However, the numbers show a troubling trend for Harris and the Democrats — a potential realignment among minority voters, especially along generational and gender lines.
...

Harris is a uniquely bad candidate so it should not be too surprising that some traditional Democrat voters would vote for Trump.  It appears that his biggest weakness is with young women voters.  Harris needs a larger vote from minority young people to remain competitive.

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
