Count again. I get 55%.

When they gave each team "1 vote," it was average out as favorable.

If only two people vote, one for "Strongly Oppose" and one for "Strongly Favor", a naive average comes out at 5.5, which is a larger value than the 5.2 that you're calling favorable. The numbering of options, with neutral placed below the center point, breaks any simple attempt to do averaging.

The strongest takeaway I get from this chart is that over half the respondents (55%) are opposed, and less than a third (33%) are in favor.
