The latest NBC News polling says a big majority of the country somewhat or strongly disapproves of Trump's actions on border security and immigration.

It's 20 points underwater on that.

60% of the country somewhat or strongly disapproving.

An even bigger majority of the country says that they want ICE to be reformed or abolished.

In that same NBC poll, Trump's approval rating is 22 points underwater.

But even at approval levels that bad, that low, Americans' approval of ICE in that poll is even lower than their approval of Trump, which shows that as spectacularly unpopular and reviled as Trump is right now, his favorite issue, his pet issue of being cruel to immigrants is actually an anchor on his own poll numbers.

It's actually bringing him down further.

There's starting to be a question as to how far down he can go.

In the Yahoo YouGov poll, they've got Trump's approval 20 points underwater.

Quinnipiac has him 19 points underwater.

With independents in the Quinnipiac poll, that number drops way further.

He's 27 points underwater with independents in the Quinnipiac poll.

I mean, if you want to kind of bottom line this, this means if we were a country dying of thirst on a desert island right now and Donald Trump was the one selling water, we wouldn't buy it.

We'd figure out some other way around it.

I mean, this president's cruelty may be the point.

But it is not working for him.

He is reviled.

He's more unpopular at this point in his presidency than any president in U.S.

history, and it is not close.

And it is his signature issues that are dragging him down further and further every week.
