Support for Black Lives Matter protests is falling across the country after months of unrest that has seen people killed, shops burned, and frequent clashes between activists and police.
A new poll shows that just 39 per cent of Americans now approve of the protests, down from 54 per cent in June, while 44 per cent of now disapprove of them.
University of Michigan political scientist Christian Davenport put the change down to 'compassion fatigue', as outrage over videos such as the one of George Floyd has faded, with people now wanting a return to their everyday lives.

Really professor??? It is not BLM and their Antifa allies running riot all over the country.
39%? Among rioters?
I was sick of it after the first statue toppled.
Thanks, Nikki Haley.
And, he runs off to his leftist PoliSci peers and says, “Look at me! I invented a thing, gave it a name and the media repeated it! It has been legitimated!”
“Oh, look...I did it again! I’m relevant.”
LOL!!
Where will the support be in 39 days?
I wonder what the real percentage of people who want the rioters shot is?
Sorry...no compassion for thugs, druggies, and those who associate with them...NONE. Compassion I have is for cops who have to deal with them daily.
Not ‘fatigue’. Try ‘pissed off’.
BLM and Antifa slackers get out of basement take up looting because mom and pop won’t buy them things.
BLM and Antifa slackers
Rioters paid by the democrats and should be labeled as such.
No not YOUR “compassion fatigue” but rather than a very evident nation-wide ORGANIZED threat movement with included riot, looting and arson activities causes a turn-away from sympathy!
I doubt it was all that high to begin with but no one wanted to say anything
i’ve never cared that liberals are burning down their own neighborhoods personally.
I am just over here laughing and shaking my head at their stupidity.
So if a particular race is burning, looting and killing is it racist to call them out for it? The reason I am asking is that most of them seem to be white ANTIFA types and I don't want to sound racist by hating on white ANTIFA Marxist anarchists.
Indeed always follow the money trail.
there was 54% support for domestic terrorists who were burning down our cities and destroying people’s livelihoods permanently in many cases, and for shooting and assaulting anyone that supports the president?
No. They’re finally catching on.
The riots are about revolution, not ‘justice.’
Then maybe people are starting to LEARN what BLM’s really stands for, Marxism, the destruction of the American Republic, destruction of the Police and Sheriff’s Departments who protect us, the destruction of the Military, the TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and to the REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS!!! Yeah, maybe folks are finally getting the TRUTH through all of the Marxist MSM’s propaganda apparatus that plagues the nation. The Marxist MSM are as responsible for the burning, damages, rape, murder, police shootings, etc., that the Ants and BLM are responsible for.
not protest fatigue, not compassion fatigue, riot fatigue.
Fake outrage fatigue. Fake virtue-signaler/white savior fatigue. Racist violence towards innocent bystanders fatigue. Everybody’s a fascist/racist fatigue. Violence towards Leo’s fatigue. Destruction of businesses and property fatigue. Destroying landmarks fatigue. GimmeGimme fatigue. That’s the fatigue normal people are suffering from.
