What?

If 47% view the DSA unfavorably, and 23% are unsure (which you’re counting as unsupportive) then we’re at 70%.

I’m only discussing the headline posted.

No, the headline says less than half support.
And there’s a case to be made for the author to only include those who indicated they were explicitly unfavorable, and not those who were unsure (or agnostic). Otherwise Dan’s criticism would have been that they included those to inflate the numbers.
The only thing that there isn’t a case for is claiming that more than half do support the DSA.
