On immigration, maybe. I never understood why Democrats thought they'd be able to pull off sanctuary cities with Trump willing to withhold federal money. I'm not convinced they can hold out, or even if they are willing to. So far their resistance to ICE has largely been cost-free, but once those funds dry up I imagine there will be a change of heart.

I'd dare to claim that immigration, good economy (thanks, Obama!) and bombs here and there in ME would be pretty much enough for re-election and probably even for midterms.

What do you define as being enough for the midterm elections? Are we talking about minimal House losses (maybe a dozen or so)? Personally, I believe his approval rating will still be the best metric for the GOP's midterm success. If Trump has high-30s/low-40s in October, then it's hard for me to see Republicans not getting hit with some sort of wave, even if only a small one. If Republicans performed relatively well even with an awful approval rating like Trump has now, that would probably be a historical record.

If those issues alone were enough, I'd like to think they would be reflected in his approvals.
