Is being susceptible to lies and fearmongering a trait of someone who is good? Are people who wish death on others in response to lies and fearmongering good?
To boil down even further towards the Truth: If humanity were largely good, we would not need a savior.
Good can not dwell with evil. The fact that all fall short and do wrong, means we are not good. 50% good is not good enough.
Why do children lie without being taught? Self-interest and a lack of innate morals to understand why doing so is bad.
Good and evil is a binary. Sure, in the day to day it varies, but in the grand scheme of things, it is one or the other.
If someone is 99% good, but the other 1% is them being a serial killer, they are not a good person.
If someone is 99% good, but the other 1% they lie to cheat people out of stuff and enrich themselves, they are not a good person.
Everybody does something bad from time to time, so nobody is truly good.
Just because most people aren't a 1% demon doesn't make us largely good. History demonstrates that we are not, and handwaving that as some cabal lie or as if the cabal were/are behind everything bad, is to completely deny our observable reality, where people are perfectly happy to wish death upon those they are told to hate by the media, without a second thought.
If humanity were largely good, it would not be possible for the few to commit evil against the many.
Fear, and lying are effective. And you are mistaken. Humanity is largely more good than evil.

51% or more positive is what we have. Which means more people are good than evil. 50% would mean even.
