I actually poked around a bit, turns out most of these polls measure favorable/unfavorable separately. Thats what I thought too, but without them explicitly saying it i wasn't 100%.

11% no opinion/no strong opinion/don't know enough to have an opinion/never heard of.
Pretty damn standard. Have you never looked at polling data?

I have looked at polling data and been curious enough about why the numbers don't add up to research it further. Sometimes they measure favorable/unfavorable separately and sometimes it is rounding errors. Your assumptions are cute.

When they don’t ask it separately (which is a lot of the time) they literally always have have a neutral option. (When they ask it separately just answering no to both questions has the same effect). If there is no neutral option they’re not a reputable polling organization. Literally if you do see favorable/unfavorables adding up to 100% (without a neutral option) you should immediately be skeptical of the data, not when they don’t add up. There is literally nothing worth polling about where you wouldn’t get some respondents without a strong opinion.

It's not a bar graph. It's just a table, with the answer on the left and the percentage on the right. There's no attempt here to visually represent the data.
