BOUNCING BACK – AT 12:15 P.M. ET:  After a sudden drop in approval, brought on by early mishandling of the immigration issue, President Trump is bouncing back.  From Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 40% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -5.

COMMENT:  That's pretty much where Trump was before the "separation of families " issue surfaced.  He seems back in stride, and on track to nominate a new Supreme Court justice next Monday.  We're hoping he'll start to top 50 percent.

The Democratic opposition isn't helping its case against the president by calling for the abolition of ICE.  No major group thus far polled favors that idea.  The Dems have dug a hole, and are jumping in it.
