Splitting dictionary objects

I am building a Blog App and I made a queryset which is showing blog date and likes of every day since blog date, But it is showing in dictionary and i am trying to show both instances differently in table like.

Blog Date	Likes
20 Sep.	6 Likes
21 Sep.	2 Likes
22 Sep.	4 Likes

But it is showing like :-

({20: 6},{21: 2},{22: 4})

models.py

class BlogPost(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=30, default='')
    date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

class Likes(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    blogpost_like = models.ForeignKey(BlogPost, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

views.py

from django.db.models.functions import ExtractDay
from collections import Counter

def page(request):
    blogpost = get_object_or_404(BlogPost,pk=pk)

    totals = blogpost.likes_set.filter(
        blogpost_like__date=blogpost.date,
        ).annotate(
            date=ExtractDay('blogpost__date'),
        ).values(
            'date'
        ).annotate(
            n=Count('pk')
        ).order_by('date').values()

    results = Counter({d['date']: d['n'] for d in totals})

    context = {'results':results}
    return render(request, 'page.html', context)

What have i tried ? :-

I have tried

lists = [{'id': blog.date, 'name': blog.n} for blog in results ]

But it is showing only date like 24 not the likes.

than i tried

json.dumps(list(results ))

than i tried

from calendar import monthrange

__, ds = monthrange(blogpost.date)
finalSecond = [data[i] for i in range(1, ds+1)]

But it showed

monthrange() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘month’

I have tried many times but it is still not working.

Any help would be much Appreciated. Thank You

You can use TruncDate to obtain the date:

from django.db.models import Count
from django.db.models.functions import TruncDate

totals = blogpost.likes_set.filter(
    blogpost__date=blogpost.date,
).values(
    date=TruncDate('blogpost__date')
).annotate(
    n=Count('pk')
).order_by('date')

If you pass this to the context, you can render it with:

<table>
  <thead>
    <th>Blog Date</th><th>Likes</th>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    {% for item in totals %}
      <tr>
        <td>{{ item.date|date:"F, d" }}</td><td>{{ item.n }}</td>
      </tr>
    {% endfor %}
  </tbody>
</table>
