      That’s the gap between favorable and unfavorable.

      Take 100 people.

      60 find you favorable 40 find you unfavorable

      You have a +20 favorability.

      Now take 100 people

      30 find you favorable 70 find you unfavorable

      You have a -40 favorability.

      As for the definition, “Favorable” could be just asking “would you vote for x?” Yes or No.

      That part I am not 100% certain on. I am not an expert at polling.
