Rasmussen says independents are putting Trump in front

 Newsmax:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump leads Democrat Kamala Harris by 3 points in a national head-to-head battle, bolstered by a bump from independent voters, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll released Thursday.

Trump leads Harris 49% to 46%, according to the survey.

Although Trump's lead is down from 4 points a week ago, Trump's lead among independents increased by 2 points over the same timeframe. Trump got 51% support from independents in Thursday's poll compared to 40% for Harris. Last week, Trump led Harris by 9 points among unaffiliated voters, according to the poll.

"Is Trump getting a DNC Convention bounce?" Rasmussen asked in a post to X.

However, Harris cut into Trump's lead thanks to a 4-point swing among women in one week. Last week, Trump led Harris 49% to 47% among women in their head-to-head. Harris flipped the script in this week's survey, leading Trump 48% to 46%, according to Rasmussen.

In a six-way matchup this week, Trump leads Harris 47% to 45%, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. getting 4%, according to the poll. However, RFK is reportedly poised to end his campaign this week and throw his support behind Trump.

In the 6-way, Trump's lead among independents is 9 points, 48% to 39%, with Kennedy getting 7% support, according to the poll.
...

Harris is such a lousy candidate that I suspect that much of her support is because of irrational Trump hatred. Ir is hard to believe that nearly half the country thinks she is smart or capable of leading the country.  I suspect that she would have to be proper up in much the same way dementia Joe Biden has been.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
