35% was pre-impeachment. 49% is now. What part are you struggling with? I didn't see it as a time limited thing.
I am amused that you don't think you are gullible parroting the nonsense the PHONY media feeds you.
NAILED it!!
Trump must have failed basic math.

What polls was Trump referencing? You still haven't answered that yet...

Okay, I looked into the claim for myself, since you were unable to provide me with any specifics.
The "formal impeachment inquiry" was launched on Sept 24th, 2019. The very first Gallup poll solely covering a time period AFTER this date (spanning from Oct 1st-13th) showed Trump at a 39% job approval. The latest Gallup poll (Jan 16th-29th) showed Trump at a 49% job approval.
Guess what, Taco, 49-39=10. Looks like Trump can do basic math after all... Looks like YOU are the pathological liar, not Trump. I see that you are projecting your own issues onto others, just like a good little liberal does. The Marxist elite sure are proud of you!

You're right... There were probably MORE than that!!
WRONG. He won it 304-227 (7 voted for other candidates).

I don't. I don't even consider the SOTC (Socialist Oligarchy of the Territory of California) to be a State anymore.
Changing the tax structure to have wealthy pay more is not a one-timer. The money flowing into the government coffers will continue year after year. Corporations should pay more too. We all know that some corps making enormous profits pay nothing or get money back. Even rightys can understand that is wrong. Perhaps you cannot, but many can.

Oh wait, I mistakenly went after the date instead of before the date. Let me correct that. Let's look at the last Gallup poll before September (August 15th-30th). Oh wait, that one was 39% also!!! Gee by golly. Trump can still do basic math.
More significant, which polls were Trump referring to ?

Inferring anything from one or two opinion polls is a waste of time, unless (like Trump) you're making propaganda for dummies.
You need a moving average of many polls. One of the best is RCP.

Taking the same dates you took, Trump's approval rating was:
Aug.30 2019: 42.8%
Jan.29 2020: 44.9%
His rating rose 2.1% over this period, which is almost certainly within the statistical margin of error. Amazing!

Yup, that's what I meant by which poll is the "before" and which is the "after".
Personally, I think he was just making schiff up.

I'm not inferring anything. I find that most polls are meaningless, including favorability polls such as what is being discussed here. I was merely responding to the OP's claim and showing him that he is dead wrong about his claim.
I find that a "moving average of meaningless" is meaningless.
Like I said, meaningless.
I don't care what polls claim Trump's favorability is. What I do care about is when someone acts as if Trump can't do basic math when he very obviously can and did, as I had shown.
He frequently cites internal polling.

Whoops. I wasn't clear. By "he", I meant the OP, not Trump.
But yes, Trump does frequently cite internal polling. I'm personally not big on polling of pretty much any sort. All that matters are the election day results.
