With billions of dollars in new funding for his mass deportation goals recently approved, the tools are there to escalate his crackdown even further. But a new poll from Gallup shows just how badly his heavy-handed policies have soured with Americans.   I wrote last month about Trump's weakening numbers on immigration. While it was still his "strongest issue" in June's NBC News poll, it was still not an overwhelming seal of approval from the electorate. Other surveys conducted during and after the protests in Los Angeles and the harsh federal response showed those numbers slacking further as the spotlight shone on Immigration and Customs Enforcement's widening scope.   If those polls were a tremor, the survey that Gallup released Friday has the potential to be a political earthquake.   This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest column.
