Despite the media's constant portrayal of Black Lives Matter "protests" as peaceful and loving, more and more Americans are learning the truth about this violent, Marxist movement, and support is starting to plummet.
And with under 50 days to a pivotal national election, Democrats who embrace, fund, and bail BLM thugs out of jail, the timing could not be worse.
New polls from Pew Research and Fox News show support for the Black Lives Matter movement has dropped by 12 points since mid-summer, and a majority of voters now qualify the unrest in places like Kenosha, Wisconsin, as riots and not protests.
At the height of the summer, when anti-racism and anti-police brutality protests were happening in almost every major American city -- and heralded by the media at every step -- support for the Black Lives Matter movement hit an all-time high of 67%, per Pew Research.
But as the summer wore on, though, and large-scale demonstrations sometimes gave way to violence and destruction, support for the movement as a whole dropped by more than 10%.
Pew reports:
A majority of U.S. adults (55%) now express at least some support for the movement, down from 67% in June amid nationwide demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd. The share who say they strongly support the movement stands at 29%, down from 38% three months ago.
And the decline isnt just among white adults. Pew notes that Hispanics contacted for the poll also expressed waning support for the movement...

Tar babies are very difficult to drop.
55% still support burn loot murder? This is incredibly sad...
Most of the 55% who still support BurnLootMurder are simply afraid of being targeted if they say they don’t.
Unrest is a word only a riot-defender could use. I first heard it applied to the riots in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray. Ridiculous.
This is only surprising to fools.
Im quite surprised it stands at 55%
I believe that polling is BS as the election polling...
Looks like the left and the media will have to step up their gaslighting tactics.
The Burn Loot Murder chickens are coming home to roost in the Democrat henhouse!
They have been riots from the beginning.
Gaslighting and fraud
Now? My goodness, people are not talking about it at all. It has gone back to cute animals, funny stories and discussions about the virtues of physical books vs e-books.
You mean theyve been on the wrong side of history after all? Again?
Hispanics can see the difficulties they face with the BLM movement claiming moral superiority over all other groups. This dividing our citizens into groups which vilify others and destroy and riot is a no win agenda.
.
EVERYONE needs to be CONSTANTLY reminded how these Democrats assisted/facilitated/enabled these BLM/Antifarq criminal blackshirts.
Time these dem apologists were PROSECUTED for their willful criminal negligence.
.
Most people wouldn’t have supported it to begin with if they knew what that organization stands for - and it is not its namesake.
Two billion dollars in destroyed property and dozens of people murdered... I’m amazed it took this long for some people to realize these ‘protests’ were violent..
