What does +n favourability mean?

There's 100 people in the room

10 think you're annoying, 80 love you, 10 dont care

A "net" when talking numbers is the difference, so you would have a net favorability of 70%. Because it's the people who like you minus the people who dislike you, and no one cares about the people who don't care.

Quick edit:

I didn't check if that 73% is real or just to make a point, but if it is, 73% net favorability is obviously insanely popular. Cracking 50% overall is pretty much considered a shoe in
