Support for BLM Drops Among Hispanics, White Voters, and Republicans, New Poll Shows

[DAILYSIGNAL] Support for the Black Lives Matter movement has fallen since June, dropping more than 12 percentage points over the past three months among non-black Americans, according to a poll published Thursday.

Roughly 55% of American adults said that they supported BLM in September, compared to 67% of people who said the same thing in June, according to a poll from the Pew Research Center. White American support fell the most, dipping from 60% in June to 45% in September, the poll found.

Hispanic American support for BLM decreased from 77% to 66%, while Asian Americans have cooled to the movement as well, with support dropping from 75% to 69% since June.

The poll comes nearly four months after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in late May after a white officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes, per video of the incident.

The poll draws from data collected in a panel conducted Sept. 8 to Sept. 13. A total of 10,093 panelists responded out of 11,506 who were sampled, with a margin of sampling error for the full slate of respondents falling at plus or minus 1.6 percentage points.

Support for BLM among Republicans fell from 37% in June to 16% as of September, while support among Democrats has remained high, decreasing slightly from 92% in June to 88% this month.

#1 I suspect the 55% support number is bullshit too. People don't want to be targeted for violence or called a racist. I don't even answer the phone if it's not someone I already know. 6 calls yesterday

#2 How is the poll worded? How are BLM described exactly?
Is it
"Do you support the movement to end systemic police racism and violence directed against blacks known as BLM"?

Sure, that description would easily get 50-60% approval. But that description is bullshit -- as is obvious to anyone paying close attention to what the movement leaders actually say and the many assassinations that its rabid followers have actually pulled off.

So if the poll question is accurate - s.t. like, "Do you support the Marxist revolutionary movement to hinder policing through violence directed at police and property owners known as BLM?"

... then the approval falls off a cliff.

Nothing about Fentanyl and other drugs cauing his heart attack (not suffication) while resisting arrest?

#4 You give too much credit to wording. Back in the George Floyd protests virtue signaling was turned up to 11. I've talked to a number of folks who didn't know BLM was an actual group but thought it was just a slogan.

#5 I do not believe Asian support for blm is 69% (higher than hispanics) nor that Asian support has dropped by only 6%.
