Pollsters accused of rigging result to keep Harris competitive

 Newsmax:

One prominent Democrat pollster said other pollsters are "cheating" to show the White House race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remains close in the final days before Election Day.

Silver, who founded FiveThirtyEight, said other pollsters are recycling some results to keep Trump and Harris within a point or two of each other each time polls are released.

"I kind of trust pollsters less," Silver said on his "Risky Business" podcast. "They all, every time a pollster [says] 'Oh, every state is just plus-one, every single state’s a tie,’ no! You’re [expletive] herding! You’re cheating! You’re cheating!

"Your numbers aren't all going to come out at exactly one-point leads when you’re sampling 800 people over dozens of surveys. You are lying! You’re putting your [expletive] finger on the scale!"

Meanwhile, Silver has Trump ahead 55% to 45% nationally. He added that each of the key seven swing states were polling within 2 percentage points
...

I do not sense much enthusiasm for Kamala Harris, but she will get the Democrat machine vote turnout which may be hard for Trump to overcome in some states. I tend to believe the 55% lead for Trump.  I just do not think Harris is a good candidate or a good choice.

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
