Trump approval rating bounces back after White House makes immigration changes
Every delay has consequences.
Welcome to the latest edition of Washington Secrets. Today we hear from the White House which thinks the President’s approval ratings have turned a corner after plunging during the crisis in Minnesota, we get the low-down on the financial impact of six inches of snow on the nation’s capital (tldr it would be worth spending more on snow removal efforts) and we hear from the MAGA singer on a mission to take down the Boss …

The conservative polling firm tends to produce numbers favorable to the Trump White House. But the trend is reflected in the RealClearPolitics average of polls, which has the approval rate ticking up by almost three-quarters of a point since its low two weeks ago.
The numbers have been greeted with a sigh of relief inside the White House, where officials said it illustrated how a course correction, shaking up enforcement personnel, had eased public concern.
They had watched how immigration, one of the president’s most popular policies, had become a liability.
A string of analysts suggested video of Border Patrol agents killing Alex Pretti — the second of two fatal shootings — could mark a turning point, alienating voters who supported a border crackdown but who were horrified by the sight of masked agents on the streets of American cities.
While other polling firms say the president’s ratings could sink further as results from other surveys that launched in late January come in, InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery said he was already seeing more positive results.
“In our latest round of polling (over the past two weeks), we have seen Trump’s approval drop to a 43% immediately following the shooting and death of a man by ICE agents in Minnesota, only to rebound to the 50% level following a replacement of leadership of ICE efforts in that state,” he said.
Gregory Bovino, the bullish commander-at-large of Border Patrol, was replaced in Minneapolis by Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar.
Homan has long advocated a policy that targets violent immigrants with criminal backgrounds. And he declined to comment on the circumstances of the two shootings until investigations were …
