The candidates are ranked (listed) by "net favorable" - the "plus" minus the "negative."
Yes, I know . . but it still looks somehow distorted when their #1 candidate has 52% favorables . . and the #11 candidate has 55% favorables.
Makes me think the formula might be questionable.
Trump’s poll numbers added up to 92% . . Rubio’s only 66%.
What did the other 34% of responders say about Rubio?
Evidently Gallup is assuming Rubio’s lack of ‘familiarity’ was the reason he only had a 66% response . . which makes the whole formula somewhat flawed in my opinion. Of course a candidate won’t show unfavorable yet . . if he isn’t even familiar to the responders. The fact that Rubio’s favorables were less than Trump’s is not being given enough ‘weight’ in the formula, in my opinion.
