Trump approval hits 54%

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS)/Harris poll of registered voters found that 54% approve of Trump, compared to 40% who disapprove. Six percent remain undecided.

This represents a remarkable turnaround from January 2021, when Trump’s approval rating was a record-low 34% as he left office following his first term.
...

The poll also highlights Trump’s broadening appeal across key voter demographics. According to The Hill, Trump enjoys approval from 91% of Republicans, nearly half (49%) of independents, and an eye-opening 22% of Democrats — this despite relentless negative coverage of his Cabinet picks by corporate media outlets.

“Almost three-quarters of Democrats and about 40 percent of independents said they disapprove of the president-elect,” The Hill noted. Even so, the polling signals notable inroads into traditionally Democratic voter bases.

The survey reveals a dramatic realignment in voter preferences by age. While seniors remain the only group where disapproval outweighs approval, majorities of Americans aged 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, and 45-54 support Trump. A plurality of those aged 55-64 also approve.

As The Hill points out, this trend challenges the longstanding assumption that younger voters overwhelmingly lean Democratic. In fact, exit polls from the 2024 presidential election showed younger voters shifting significantly toward Trump.
...

While I would be considered a "senior" voter, I continue to support Trump.  His presidency was clearly superior to that of Biden.  Inflation was under control under Trump and the economy was more prosperous.  The world was also more peaceful. I think more voters now realize that electing Biden was a mistake that was largely helped by a biased media.

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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
