Support for the movement has reached its lowest point since the 2020 death of George Floyd.<\/p>\n<p>White Americans, at 42 percent, are the least likely to support the movement. In comparison, 61 percent of Hispanics, 63 percent of Asians, and an overwhelming 81 percent of black Americans expressed support.<\/p>\n<p>Support for the movement is sharply distinguished between partisan affiliations, with Democrats continuing to back it and Republicans increasingly critical.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">% who support the Black Lives Matter movement<\/p>\n<p>Democrats: <b>84%<\/b><br \/>\nRepublicans: <b>17%<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4DSqUB5csE\">https:\/\/t.co\/4DSqUB5csE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KgDpLcZXgx\">pic.twitter.com\/KgDpLcZXgx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 John Gramlich (@johngramlich) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johngramlich\/status\/1669083651647197187?\">June 14, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Declining Support and Changing Perceptions<\/h3>\n<p>Support for the movement has declined the most in age demographics above 30. The American perception of Black Lives Matter has changed considerably since 2022, with a 5 percent decline in support and a 4 percent increase in opposition, according to the poll.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not hard to see why Black Lives Matter support is ebbing. The organization has been the subject of scandals related to its spending, including high-end real estate purchases, and questionable hiring and payment practices that have benefitted its leaders, their families, and their friends.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it appears to be failing to make the racial climate of the country any better.<\/p>\n<p>A strong majority of Americans polled, 61 percent, said the movement has failed to improve relations between Americans of different races. In addition, 57 percent stated that the movement hadn\u2019t been successful in improving the lives of black Americans, with only 33 percent saying it had.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">FATIGUE: Most Americans believe the Black Lives Matter movement HURT race relations more than it helped. A majority of Americans say the increased focus on issues of race in the past three years hasn\u2019t led to improvements for Black Americans. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5rg5nwMLZT\">https:\/\/t.co\/5rg5nwMLZT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @amuse (@amuse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/amuse\/status\/1669122305778147329?\">June 14, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Consequences and Costs<\/h3>\n<p>The aftermath of the riot movement\u2019s peak in 2020 has left many major American cities struggling with both violent and petty crime, often with defunded and depleted police departments unable to ensure the same quality of public safety they did before the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The movement\u2019s effects have imposed a toll on law enforcement\u2019s hiring and retention, with fewer young Americans willing to consider entering a career field in which they\u2019re more likely to be intensely scrutinized than ever before, according to the Marshall Project, an online journalism non-profit.<\/p>\n<p>Estimates of the movement\u2019s costs vary widely, with one figure placing the property damages from riots at more than $1 billion. Many of the movement\u2019s costs have been imposed on black communities in the nation\u2019s cities.<\/p>\n<h3>Survey Methodology<\/h3>\n<p>According to Pew\u2019s description of the poll\u2019s methodology, it surveyed 5,073 American adults between April 10 and April 16. It had an oversampling of black and Hispanic respondents as well as sexual minorities to get a fuller sample for specific questions.<\/p>\n<p>The margin of error for the full sample of 5,073 respondents is plus or minus 1.7 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/blm-crashing-hard-support-drops-off-cliff-americans-reach-race-fatigue-new-poll-shows\/\">BLM is Crashing Hard \u2013 Support Drops Off Cliff As Americans Reach Race Fatigue, New Poll Shows<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Pew Research survey reveals declining American support for the Black Lives Matter street riot movement, hitting its lowest point since George Floyd&#8217;s death in 2020.
