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.
