Support for Black Lives Matter sees massive plunge, polls say

New polls show an erosion of support for Black Lives Matter, with a majority of Americans saying they believe a war is being waged against police officers.

Separate surveys by Pew Research and by Fox News found that support for BLM has dropped more than 10 percentage points in just a few months, Summit News reported.

Pew said that as "racial justice protests have intensified following the shooting of Jacob Blake, public support for the Black Lives Matter movement has declined."

The polling company found that 55% now express at least some support for the movement, down from 67% in June.

The share who say they strongly support the movement is 29%, down from 38% three months ago.

Pew said the decline in support for BLM is particularly notable among white and Hispanic adults.

In June, 60% said they supported the movement at least somewhat. Now, only 45% express at least some support.

The share of Hispanic adults who support BLM has decreased 11 percentage points, from 77% in June to 66% today.

"express at least some support"

Talk about your push poll phrasing.

The greatest example of white privilege was white people taking over the BLN protests, and turning them into riots.

If someone called my house and demanded to know whether I supported lawless criminals that like to riot, loot, burn down businesses and houses...so brazen as to kill attack cops...

What? Like I’m going to tell a stranger on the phone that I’m opposed to them? Like what, the cops would protect me from them? LOL.... Yeah...Polling at its finest.

Once the people learn this they don’t support BLM or the media that has been lying about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’d like to see a poll of how many people realize BLM is marxist.

A young woman in my neighborhood put a BLM sign in her yard back in May. It is gone now.

Apparently she finally figured out that they don’t believe that her (Asian) life matters.

How do we know that BLM ever had the 'massive' support in the first place? Was it because 'the polls' told us so?

I thought so.
