The study by British polling expert Lord Ashcroft found that the president is not losing his base and that a far left candidate could ensure President Trump’s victory, The Daily Mail reported.

To mark the halfway point of Mr Trump’s current term in the White House, Lord Ashcroft today releases new research on American public opinion. It exposes starkly divided views, with critics seeing the Mr Trump as an ‘erratic, chauvinistic President embarrassing America on the world stage’.

But Lord Ashcroft’s research also reveals that ‘the Donald’ has largely met or even surpassed the expectations of many of the people who voted for him at the 2016 election.

They point to a ‘thriving economy, stoked by tax cuts and deregulation’, as well as two conservative appointments to the US Supreme Court and a ‘tough line on illegal immigration and border security’.

The ‘Half-Time’ research, which includes surveys of 15,000 Americans since last year’s mid-term elections, also shows a Left-ward switch by the rival Democrat Party, which could have bearing on Mr Trump’s re-election chances.

Lord Ashcroft says that most Democrats now want the party to adopt more ‘liberal, progressive candidates than more moderate, centrist ones’. He writes that focus groups have revealed moderate voters saying they have been ‘driven Left-ward in reaction to Trump’. The findings will strike a chord with moderate Labour MPs who claim the move Left under Mr Corbyn makes it hard for their party to be elected.

It is two years today since Donald Trump entered the White House. That means we are exactly halfway between the last presidential inauguration and the next one; whether it also proves to be the halfway point in his presidency remains to be seen. Does President Trump have two years left in office – or six?

As my research has found over the past two years, those who voted for him positively, rather than as the only way of avoiding a President Hillary Clinton, remain solidly behind him.

They point to a thriving economy stoked by tax cuts and deregulation, two conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, a newly combative approach to international affairs, a willingness to reshape global trade deals in the interests of American jobs, and a tough line on immigration and border security.

They like that he continues to say exactly what he (and often, they) think, and the outrage this causes in some quarters only adds to their enjoyment. And if his statements sometimes fall foul of the fact-checkers, they see him as honest in what they regard as the more important sense that he is authentic and has set about doing the things he said he would: rare enough traits in an elected official.
