Great statistical analysis.
Actually, the percentages are more important in this comparison than the numbers like that. Because of the large difference in the population counts using the count is unfairly weighted to your argument where the percentages are more unbiased.
A better refutation of his point would be that the drop of 3.7 percentage points was a roughly 27% drop while the 2.9 points was around a 37% drop.
