    What does -78% approval rating mean?

        Or it is a two-way poll, e.g. how would you rate musk from 100% favorable to 100% unfavorable, and it averages out for 78% unfavorable

          It’s possible, but doesn’t seem like a great way to do a poll like this.

          If you’re neutral about him it’d be 0% which looks bad but isn’t and is an awkward way to answer.

          Usually I’ve only seen that on the

          Very dissatisfied, somewhat, neutral, somewhat, very satisfied

          Type scales.

      +100%: everyone loves him; 0%: nobody cares, or the love and hate are equally balanced; -100%: everyone hates him. It’s clearer than a 0-100 scale with nobody cares at 50% because positive-only results imply a level of approval.
