"The resulting furor produced a partial government shutdown, and Trump himself seems wrong-footed by the world-wide backlash to scenes of masked thugs attacking immigrants, protesters and bystanders alike. But it's a little more difficult to measure how much this has affected Donald Trump's own public standing. Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent on January 7. Alex Pretti was killed by Border Control agents on January 24."
"Using the polling averages at Silver Bulletin, we see that Trump's overall net job approval rating stood at -12.2 percent on January 6 and dropped to -14.6 percent by the end of the month (it's at -13.4 percent on February 4). As usual, the mix of pollsters releasing data in this period puts various thumbs on scales. Readings on Trump's net job approval range from Insider Advantage, whose February 1 survey pegged it at 1 percent, to Pew Research, which placed it at -24 percent."
Brutal immigration enforcement tactics in Minneapolis and elsewhere produced worldwide backlash and a partial government shutdown. Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent on January 7, and Alex Pretti was killed by Border Control agents on January 24. Trump's overall net job approval averaged -12.2 percent on January 6, fell to -14.6 percent by the end of January, and registered -13.4 percent on February 4. Individual poll results vary widely, from Insider Advantage at +1 percent to Pew Research at -24 percent. Morning Consult showed little change, Economist-YouGov showed slight improvement, while Rasmussen reached -13 percent. Silver Bulletin's immigration approval trend declined from -3.8 percent in December to -12.4 percent in late January, settling near -11.1 percent.
