How would you rate Donald Trump’s performance as president out of 10? Last month, I sat at the edge of a packed room in a Georgia hotel, hearing how voters in a focus group responded to that question.

I doubt you will be shocked by the division, nor the strength of feeling against Trump.

But given the sheer number of headlines outlining the President’s falling popularity, not least in the face of a cost of living squeeze caused by his Iran war, you might be surprised by the enduring love still felt for him.
