The decline and fall of the Democrats

 Federalist Wire:

...

The Democratic Party has sunk to an unprecedented low in the eyes of Americans, registering a mere 29% favorability rating according to a recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS. This marks a significant downturn for the party, which has seen its public approval plummet in recent years. The survey, carried out from March 6-9, 2025, included 1,206 respondents and carries a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.3 points. Since January 2021, Democratic favorability has dropped by a striking 20 points, signaling a steep decline in public support.

This 29% rating is the lowest recorded for the Democrats in CNN polling data stretching back to 1992. What’s particularly striking is that much of the disapproval is coming from within the party itself. Only 63% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents now view their party favorably—a nine-point dip since January 2025 and an 18-point fall since the start of the Biden-Harris administration. This internal dissatisfaction points to a growing fracture among the party’s base.

The poll reveals that 52% of Democratic-aligned adults believe the party’s leadership is steering them in the wrong direction, compared to 48% who feel otherwise. This survey was completed just before some Senate Democrats supported a GOP-led spending bill on the evening of March 14, 2025—an action that has since fueled calls among lawmakers for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down. These developments suggest that tensions over leadership and direction are intensifying.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki, appearing on “Meet the Press,” reinforced these findings, noting the Democrats’ dismal standing. “Look at the numbers here for Democrats: 27% positive, more than double, 55% negative,” Kornacki said. “This is what’s happened to the Democrats since the election.” He pointed out that much of this negativity stems from Democrats themselves, particularly those who feel the party is being “too cooperative” with President Donald Trump. This sentiment has grown since Trump’s victory in November 2024, adding to the party’s challenges.
...

The Democrat politicians appear to be in a no-win situation.  A majority of voters put Trump back in office in 2024 and the remaining Democrats appear to want to double down on the policies that caused them to lose the election.  I certainly do not think the Democrats would be wrong to try to work with Trump to benefit the country as a whole.

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.
