I take your point. However, a 40% favorability across the board leaves 60% off the table as possible unfavorables. I’m just saying they should have given us the favorable/unfavorable mix so you could see both sides of the coin. A 40% overall favorability sounds very good, but it needs that perspective to gain a full appreciation.
A good illustration is Obama’s current job approval numbers on RCP: 46% approval: Wow! 51 % disapproval: Not so wow.
Possible unfavorables of 60% is sooth saying. 40% favorable this early in primary season has to be good compared to other leading republican nominees in past primaries.
