    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.

    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!

    Honestly, I find most polls to be meaningless, including "favorability" polls.
    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.

    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.
