I thought the speech was fine. Interesting to see how quickly Trump is finally pivoting from his campaign style into a more Presidential style. The substance of the policy is about the same, but the rhetoric has been toned down.

Reading between the lines, I get the impression Bannon has lost some of his influence after all those misteps over the past month. Notice for example that the "new" Travel Ban keeps getting pushed back and rumours keep coming out that it is being watered down.
Indeed, there definitely seems to be some sort of shift going on behind the scenes, with the new ban being pushed back so to keep a hold of the good vibes from the speech as long as possible, as well as the watering down rumours and the recent rumour that he'd be open to making some illegals legal.
We'll see, if he can get through the rest of this month without putting his foot in it then he might be able to sway his polls about a bit.
