That isn't a defense.It's a statement of fact that can easily be validated with a simple search engine.I accept your defeat.

Seeing as Obama wasn't the topic here, such a victory (if one can call it that) would still ring hollow.

The fact that you are trying to call interjecting something off topic into a debate, not proving a point with it and claiming it as a victory. Tells me more and more about what kind of person you are.

You shown time and time and time again your ability to discern things about others is more often than not a BIG 'swing and a miss."

Seeing as you keep proving me correct. I'll take you're assumption into consideration.

Being a legend in one's own mind doesn't make one a legend.It's more often than not a very good indication of a flawed mind.Remember that before you counsel again.It will serve both you and your clients well. You're welcome

I would advise you not to put that foot so far into your mouth next time. I'm not going to be around to hold your had all the time.

Have a nice morning Logician.

Actually I've seen it as high as 46%, which is why I said nearly. So you can just go ahead and try to split hairs all you want, seeing as you've already misrepresented my statement once already. I'm not really holding hope for you improving anytime soon.

Though I should thank you. You calling my language highly suspect, is probably one of the best laughs I've had all week.

Misrepresentation? You are the one trying to pass off 46% as "nearly 50%"....and, using the word "nearly" means you are trying to associate your claim with 50%. That is misrepresentation. I am merely pointing out you were overselling the results, which is a misuse of language as 46% has nothing to do with 50%. Moreover, they are light years apart in a bifurcated political environment, where most races are 46 to 46 and the whole argument is over the intermediate 8%.

In the above paragraph I even indulged you in the notion that Trump's approval was 46%. It is not now, nor has it been 46%*. It currently is in the low 40's, which is even further from 50%. Sorry pal, you grossly exaggerated your claim. Man up!

* - actually, it was near 46% right after inauguration. Then Trump started "work" and its been downhill ever since.

So yes, you are splitting hairs and then dropping to clouting race like it means something...

At least you're still good for a laugh, if not to be genuine.

Taking you to task for rounding low 40% to "nearly 50%" is NOT "splitting hairs." Its calling you out for being wrong. I know you will be more careful in the future.

According to the Gallup Poll, Mr. Trump's "Approval Rating" was "near 46%" for

17/01/20-22/17 45
17/01/21-23/17 45
17/01/22-24/17 46
17/01/23-25/17 46
17/01/24-26/17 45
17/01/25-27/17 42
17/01/26-28/17 42
17/01/27-29/17 43
17/01/28-30/17 43
17/01/29-31/17 43
17/01/30-2/1/17 43
17/01/31-2/2/17 43
17/02/01-3/17 44
17/02/02-4/17 42
17/02/03-5/17 42
17/02/04-6/17 42
17/02/05-7/17 43
17/02/06-8/17 43

about 20 days.

Since that time Mr. Trump's "Approval Rating" has remained in the 39.5(+/-3.5)% range (for those who, unlike you, can't add and/or subtract, that means between 36.0% and 43.0%) except for the odd day scattered infrequently.

Now, I can't claim that the Gallup Poll doesn't have some "systemic bias", but when you ask the identical polling question over and over and over then the trends become reasonably obvious.
