WHERE THE PRESIDENT STANDS – AT 10:32 A.M. ET:  There are some initial signs that the president's dip in the polls, probably caused by missteps over immigration, is being reversed.  From Rasmussen: 

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) disapprove.

COMMENT:  That's a two-point gain in two days.  Other polls are starting to reflect a comeback as well.  Harvard-Harris also has Trump at 47%. 

If the trend continues, the president should be back in the high forties next week.  He's pretty much where Obama was at this point in his presidency, but you may be sure that CNN will continue to call him an unpopular president.

We face reality – he is not loved by most of the people.  But he's really no more unpopular than many presidents at this point.
