So instead of elaborating... you're just going to meme? I mean sure go ahead, it just feels kinda, idk, pointless. ba-dum tss.

Seems to mean that he wasn't favorable at all.
Wait hangon, is this all because you're interpreting positive approval of a contentious political figure from 1/3 of a population as not popular?
You realize that the figure includes black people right?
