More voters classify BLM unrest as riots rather than protests: poll

More voters consider the unrest in three US cities stemming from Black Lives Matter demonstrations to be riots rather than protests, a new Fox News poll shows.

The poll, published Sunday, found that 48 percent of likely voters surveyed described violence in New York, Portland, and Kenosha, Wisconsin to be riots, compared to 40 percent who saw them as protests.

The results break down in part along party lines, with 68 percent of Republicans calling the unrest riots, compared to 30 percent of Democrats.

Along racial lines, more than half of white voters, or 52 percent, saw the protests as riots. Meanwhile, 62 percent of black respondents and 48 percent of Hispanics described them as protests, the poll shows.

Thirty-nine percent of those polled also blamed the clashes with police on “left-wing radicals,” with 33 percent saying “right-wing radicals” were at fault, according to the poll. Nine percent blaming both.

However, more likely voters said they trust Democratic nominee Joe Biden over President Trump to bring the country together, by a 54-40 percent margin, according to the results.

The poll surveyed 1,311 registered voters and 1,191 likely voters by phone and in live interviews between Sept. 7-10 from a random sample.

Burning down police stations and looting stores qualifies as a riot.

Media can’t hide it and spin it forever.

Even low infos can pick up on it.

40% as protests, and less than 50% (48%) as riots. Our country is so messed up and many really don’t care. Which is why many will have their vote counted despite the fact that they will not have voted themselves.

Protest my ass these are uncontrolled violent riots, made felonious by the cross border and international nature of the participants and instigators.

Well, it’s reassuring we still live in a Euclidean Universe where two parallel line don’t touch and 1+1=2.

They are violent riots organized by the left, including democrats, to make everyone think the entire USA is racist, and then to direct that thought squarely on Donald Trump and blame him for everything.

I call it an evil infestation by jackals, rodents and dark agents of hell. It's way over the top from riots and protests. They're almost inhuman and need to be exterminated.

Joe Biden over President Trump to bring the country together, by a 54-40

Says a lot about the rest of the poll. In other words the poll is BS. No way Biden gets 14% more than Trump

Joe Biden doesn't have a plan to bring the country together. His only plan is to suppress and kill conservatives and constitutionalists, thereby eliminating all opposition to communist rule. Everyone will be together under a dictatorial socialist government.

Vote Trump 2020!

Hidden in that figure is 33% believe right wing people are at fault for the riots. Absolute insanity and evil. Remember after days of leftist BLM riots in Portland they said Trump starting to send officers to protect the one Federal Building there was “the cause of the unrest and got people angered.” Really?

I hope they are the first to go. Our country does not need morons like that.

To certain idiot voters the Democrats are courting, Biden is a nice old man who doesn’t say anything offensive while Trump is an orange meanie whose nasty tweets cause right wing extremists to riot.

The rest who still call them protests should get a damn good look at the video from last night in front of the hospital that had admitted the 2 LA County deputies who’d been ambushed in their car.
