The polling was conducted after two lethal shootings involving federal agents.
While Democrats are trying to beat down President Donald Trump over lethal shootings by federal agents in Minnesota, a new poll shows that a slim majority approves of his response to the protests.
The online poll was conducted by the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard and the Harris Poll and found that of all categories listed, Trump's favorability was highest over the Minneapolis anti-ICE response.
Fifty-one percent of respondents approved of Trump on that issue.
A large majority, 60%, said they believed Democratic politicians had encouraged resistance to ICE officers performing their job, and only 43% said they supported politicians encouraging that resistance. Fifty-seven percent said they opposed politicians encouraging resistance.
The respondents were polled after the lethal shooting of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and anti-ICE agitator who interrupted federal agents while armed with a gun. Respondents could have also known about the lethal shooting of Renee Good, who blocked ICE agents with her vehicle and swerved into one agent after being confronted.
While I would have preferred he send in a few divisions of marines with standing orders to beat the crap out of every protester they could find, I'm still very happy with what he is doing.

And the majority of Americans support him not Tampon Tim and Frey. They see them as instigators.
Officials in a Georgia city have locked Immigration and Customs Enforcement out of accessing the local water supply for the agency's planned mega-detention facility.
ICE's plans to open a detention center in Social Circle, Georgia, first became public in December, when the Washington Post reported that the Trump administration aims to overhaul the immigration detention system by renovating seven large-scale warehouses to hold 5,000 to 10,000 people each.
The warehouses will reportedly be located in major logistics hubs: Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia, and Missouri. ICE would also establish other smaller warehouses capable of holding 1,500 people each.
According to the Post, ICE plans to establish a feeder system in which individuals would be booked into smaller processing sites and then funneled into one of the seven larger detention facilities for holding while they await deportation. This new system reportedly aims to speed up deportations.
The mayor and city council of the City of Social Circle unequivocally does not support an ICE detention facility in the city or the surrounding areas," the city said in a December statement.
While Social Circle plans to build a sewer treatment plant that would initially increase its capacity by 1.5 million gallons per day, construction has not yet begun, and it is projected to take one year to 18 months to complete.
As a result, city officials have opted to cut off water and sewer services to ICE's facility by locking the water meter serving the warehouse.
