Trump-Vance got a boost from young voters

 The Federalist Wire:

...

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance have experienced a notable boost in popularity among younger voters, according to a recent survey by The Economist and YouGov. The data highlights a significant shift in the 18-to-29 age group’s sentiment, with a growing sense of optimism about both leadership and personal finances.

Vance’s approval among younger voters jumped to 43%, with disapproval dropping to 31%. This marks a substantial improvement from October when only 31% viewed him favorably, and 48% held an unfavorable opinion.

Trump’s standing among this demographic has also seen a sharp increase. In the latest poll conducted from November 17–19, 57% of voters aged 18 to 29 reported having a favorable impression of Trump, compared to just 38% in late October. Meanwhile, his unfavorable rating plummeted from 58% to 38%.

Support for Trump and Vance isn’t just growing among younger voters—it’s also rising among low-income Americans. For those earning less than $50,000 annually, Vance’s favorability climbed from 33% to 40%, while his unfavorable rating dropped from 46% to 38%. Similarly, Trump’s favorability surged from 33% to 50%, with his unfavorable rating remaining steady at 46%.

Trump’s favorability has even improved among Democrats. Before the election, only 6% of Democrats viewed him positively, but that figure has now risen to 14%. Vance has seen a similar trend, with his approval among Democrats increasing from 7% to 15%.

These changes have contributed to an overall rise in favorability for both leaders. Trump’s approval is now at 51%, up from 41% before the election, while his unfavorability has decreased to 46%. For Vance, overall favorability inched up from 41% to 43%, though he did lose some support among voters aged 65 and older.
...

I suspect one of the reasons for the movement is that these voters were old enough to remember that the economy was much better under Trump and the world was more peaceful.  There was also the fact that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were unusually bad candidates.

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.
