46% good, 27% no idea does not imply majority supportive
But it also doesn't mean "most people think it's not a good idea", which in colloquial English would be majority bad idea.
- digging 2y agoThat's fair. Statements: A. majority think it's not a good idea B. majority do not think it's a good idea C. majority think it's a bad idea Usually, A and C would be read as equivalent. I was using A and B as equivalent. But I understand that it's not very clear how I meant it. Certainly B is what's supported.
