      You’ve explained what +n means, but not what +n favourability means.

        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.
