    President Trump’s standing has improved over the past week, and
    credit his State of the Union address. Say what you will about
    the ricocheting, all-over-the-place speech, but as Mr. Trump
    drove to Capitol Hill to deliver it, his average favorable
    rating from RealClearPolitics was 40.8%, with 55.5%
    unfavorable—his worst since early September. As of Wednesday,
    Mr. Trump’s favorables had risen to 43.3% and his unfavorables
    had declined to 53.4%.

    This change is modest, but it’s important to locate its source:
    Mr. Trump acted presidential and struck notes of unity and
    compromise. If he can keep that tone, his numbers should
    continue to rally.

    Recent events can help Mr. Trump sustain his forward progress,
    too. First is the congressional budget agreement. It not only
    avoids another shutdown that would drag the president’s numbers
    back down, but also gives Mr. Trump $1.375 billion for 55 miles
    of new border wall and almost $23 billion for other border
    security measures.

    Some of Mr. Trump’s allies called this agreement a defeat. Most
    of the president’s supporters, however, will believe the
    president if he says it’s not. They want forward progress, and
    they’ll get it when the new $1.375 billion is used for the wall.
    And that’s before the president repurposes unspent Homeland
    Security money to pay for more miles of barrier. Since Speaker
    Nancy Pelosi vowed to give “nothing for the wall,” Mr. Trump can
    legitimately claim he won.
