Charlie Kirk memorial: Half of US is in raptures, the other indifferent

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : Also there was the prodigal son: Elon Musk was in the arena and seated beside president Trump for the first time in many, many months.
66% : Still, as the afternoon deepened in Arizona, president Trump had a clear message for both sides of the chasm.
59% : Trump mused as he gazed out across the arena.
50% : Trump, and others, have contended recently that Charlie Kirk was a Maga Republican US president in waiting, a future healer: the Maga equivalent of Bobby Kennedy himself.
45% : Now, with the appalling killing of Kirk, the Maga movement has, as Trump declared, its "martyr for American freedom".
40% : Trump, of course, is old enough to remember the storming days of Billy Graham, whose 1957 New York Crusades series of talks culminated with a gathering of some 125,000 in Times Square, a landmark more often associated with sinners than saints.
33% : The diabolical circumstances of his murder, and the gruesome footage that was, shockingly, distributed and remained on social media platforms afterwards, meant that over the following week, Charlie Kirk's name became known around the world - something that registered with Trump as he spoke in Arizona.
18% : The narrative around Kirk, in the days after his death, was that he was the invisible architect behind this administration, persuading the Trump clan to believe in JD Vance, brokering a meeting between Robert F Kennedy Jr and Trump and, most crucially, delivering millions of young conservative votes in the November election.
