50% : Trump's campaign has asked supporters to appeal to service workers by writing a message beside the tip line on their receipts until election day: "vote for Trump for no tax on tips!"

30% : Only Congress could eliminate one or both of those taxes, and Trump has not provided details of how his plan would work.
