Support for Black Lives Matter craters in US much like Biden, who sees approval rating tank in Iowa
November 17, 2021 | Jon Dougherty
A new survey has found that nationwide, support for the Black Lives Matter movement has dropped significantly after rising just as dramatically 18 months ago following the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.
According to the survey, which was conducted by Civiqs, an online survey firm with ties to far-left media group Daily Kos, 44 percent of those who responded currently support BLM generally.
But that level of support has declined from a high of 52 percent of respondents who expressed support after Floyd was killed, the New York Post reported.
At the same time, BLM is falling out of favor with a higher number of people; the survey found that 44 percent are currently opposed to the movement, which is way up from just 28 percent who voiced opposition in the days after Floyd’s death at the hands of former police office Derek Chauvin.
The survey found that 11 percent of respondents said they neither supported the organization nor opposed it, while 1 percent were uncertain.
Most respondents — more than half — who oppose BLM are white, while support for the group among blacks is at 82 percent, according to Civiqs.
The group was first founded in 2013 following the death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch leader, George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was charged with murder but was acquitted by a jury.
