Linguistics poll!

Consider the following two sentences:

1. Not all of these ideas are good
2. Not all of these ideas are bad

Which sentence describes the situation with the higher percentage of good ideas? Approximately what percentage of the ideas are good in each situation?

I think #1 suggests that most (not all) of the ideas are good, so that is the one with the higher percentage.

I would say 90+ percent of the ideas are good (or, in #2, bad).
