The polling showed that Fetterman was at +68 with Democrats in Pennsylvania back in 2023.

“He was a Democrat liberal darling,” Enten said.

That is no longer the case.

“Look at how low he has fallen, down to negative 40 points,” Enten said showing the new data. “He’s down there with the Titanic among Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

      Wrong type of scale. it’s a way of conveying a 2 part question. Do you like him or dislike him? Ok, now how much do you like or dislike him?

      This goes:

      HATE -100…………….0…………….+100 LOVE

        I think its still one question (do you like him), but they convert those results in aggregate into a ‘net approval rating’ which is = (% approve - % disapprove). So 100% approval translates to +100 and 100% disapproval translates to -100, and the range is indeed from -100 to +100

        maximum and minimum are indeed 100 vs -100, but net favourability rating of -40 means 70 vs 30 unfavourable vs favourable.

          Sort of. Could be 65 v 25, unfavorable v favorable, with 10 percent neither. The difference just tells you the spread, not necessarily the absolute (except +/-100 percent)

          Yes, that’s the difference between the two ratings.

          I’m just explaining why iy can be higher than 100, because the scale is actually bigger than it sounds.
