BLM Until The Money Dries Out: New Poll Shows Where America Stands On The Movement

According to a recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, the American public's opinion of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has hit a new low since the death of George Floyd, which was one of the flashpoints of the BLM agenda.

The poll found that while most Americans still support BLM, the percentage has dropped to its lowest point of 51% in the last three years. The same survey conducted in June 2020 showed that two-thirds of Americans supported the movement, with only 31% opposing it. However, the latest poll shows that 46% of Americans oppose the movement, the highest percentage in the last three years.

Critics of the BLM movement have also highlighted a series of controversies and damaging revelations involving the group's leaders. In May 2021, activist Patrisse Cullors resigned from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation after concerns about her spending millions of dollars on high-end properties in California.

Cullors, a self-identified Marxist, responded to criticism by blaming "right-wing attacks" for trying to taint her character. In April 2022, it was revealed that the Black Lives Matter organization had allegedly used funds donated to the cause to purchase a $6 million home in southern California with cash. When asked to explain the purchase, a leader claimed that the home would house a project called the "Black Joy Creators Fellowship."

Moreover, financial statements from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in May showed that the group was spending lavishly on consultants and other organizations headed by relatives of the leaders even as their donations dwindled. These revelations have further fueled criticism of the BLM movement and its leadership.

A separate poll conducted by Harvard's Center for American Political Studies in 2021 found that Americans were far more supportive of the police than the Black Lives Matter movement. The poll's findings suggest that the BLM movement's popularity has waned due to controversies surrounding its leadership and the perception that it is anti-police. Despite this, most Americans still support the movement, indicating that it remains a significant force in American politics.
