Twice as may Americans back the “All Lives Matter” slogan over the “Black Lives Matter” slogan, says a new Rasmussen survey of 1,000 likely voters.
Among blacks, a 47 percent plurality picked “All Lives Matter” over the 44 percent who picked “Black Lives Matter.”

The obvious reason for this is unstated context.
Black Lives Matter is so aggressively promoted that I take it to have the meaning of “Black Lives Matter MORE”... or “ONLY Black Lives Matter.”
“All Lives” is clearly a reaction to that, and just brings the balance somewhat back to neutral.
“Among blacks, a 47 percent plurality picked “All Lives Matter” over the 44 percent who picked ‘Black Lives Matter.’”
Among the sanctimonious corporate CEOs inundating me with emails, 100% reject “All Lives Matter”.
I prefer “Black Babies Lives Matter” to trigger the woke who support full term abortion
Black lives matter.
Brown lives matter.
Yellow lives matter.
Gay lives matter.
Trans lives matter.
White lives ..... meh.
The blacks could just move back to Africa and they would not have to worry about the bad white people.
That’s refreshing. Imagine the results if everyone polled wasn’t afraid to say their true feelings.
Racism 101: the only lives that matter are black lives.
BLM has had its time to screen test a cultural revolution.
Its been dog whistles to whole time.
So the woke white leftists and all of their virtue signaling on social media doesn't even reflect the views of most blacks.
This is actually the case on most issues if you poll specifically on the issue and not by political party among blacks - such as on school choice. But the media and the Dems have a good history of deliberately misinforming them as to which political party has their best interests...or at least more of their best interests.
Correction - only certain black lives that can be used to fit a narrative at any given time.
Which trumps ... “Veterans matter”, or “just black lives matter”?
I am surprised it's only 59% who think all lives matter.
Of course sll lives matter. Black lived don't matter even one tiny bit more than Latino lives, Chinese lives, White lives or any other lives
That is esxcty what Black Lives Matter is pushing.
“All Lives” is clearly a reaction to that, and just brings the balance somewhat back to neutral
Nonsense.
Every single life on this planet matters. Black lives are no better no worse than anyone else’s.
“All Black Lives Matter”, is even racist, to them because that includes all blacks that don’t march in lockstep with the madness.
Only Black Lives ended by White Cops matter to them.
Wait. When somebody is aggressively and threateningly yelling Black Lives Matter in your face, you don't think that they are basically placing their lives above others?
Well, that's the way it seems to me.
And that, IMHO, is why "All Lives Matter" is favored over BLM by mosat of the public.
Nobody has special rights.
In another poll common sense is preferred 2:1 over virtue signaling. Thank goodness.
Thank you for the rare bit of positive news on this Monday morning.
