It's the other way around; more people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse. The reason is that a lunar eclipse happens on the Moon; it is visible from half of the Earth's surface. A solar eclipse occurs along a narrow track across the Earth, and 75% of the Earth's surface is oceans.
People who are in the path of the eclipse.
The path of totality of a solar eclipse is fairly narrow, and the Earth is 3/4 oceans. For any specific spot on the Earth, there may not be any total solar eclipses for hundreds of years.

It's always daytime over 50% (half) of the earth.When a solar eclipse occurs, anybody who is in a position to see it is on the daytime partof the earth.

More people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse because to see the complete solar eclipse you must be in a locations directly underneath it so your point of view and angle of the moon is correct. It doesn't matter as much as to where you are for a lunar eclipse...
A solar eclipse occurs when the path of the moon comes between the sun and the earth. The moon casts a shadow on the earth's surface and an observer within that shadow would see a solar eclipse.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is in between the Earth and the sun. When this occurs, you will see just a very small ring of the sun peaking out around the outer edge of the moon.
