Commentary By InsiderAdvantage’s Matt Towery:
“Favorable/Unfavorable, just as with elected officials, is
a combination of those who have a favorable or somewhat favorable
opinion compared to those who have a somewhat unfavorable or unfavorable
opinion. Looking at this as I normally analyze, say, a presidential
primary, I would conclude that Favre is extremely popular and that
the Green Bay management must understand that unscientific measures
of this situation may have been misleading Clearly Favre has a huge
advantage from a fan base standpoint. And as with the Vick poll,
we establish that these are actual fans by screening for only respondents
who attend, watch or listen to Green Bay Packers games”
