strongly support BLM has dropped by nearly 10 points, from 38 percent to 29 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">When it came to ethnic groups, the steepest decline in support for the movement was seen among white people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In June, a majority of white people, 60 percent, backed BLM, but that number has dropped to 45

style=\"color: #ccffff;\">However, the percentage of black Americans indicating strong support for BLM did fall, from 71 to 62 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">There was a major political divide among white Americans surveyed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Nearly nine in ten white Democrats (88 percent) said they support\u00a0Black Lives Matter\u00a0in Pew\u2019s most recent polling, compared to 16 percent of white Republicans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The most recent figures were based on a\u00a0<a

style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Pew linked the \u201cprotests\u201d following the shooting of\u00a0Jacob Blake\u00a0in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last month to the decrease in support for BLM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">I would say that\u2019s a safe assessment, given the\u00a0Kenosha Fire Department\u00a0reported that there were at least 34 fires associated with the civil unrest and 30 businesses destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Blake\u2019s mother said of the destruction: \u201cMy family and I are very hurt, and quite frankly disgusted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to\u00a0send in\u00a0National Guard troops, along with federal law enforcement officers, helped to quickly quell the riots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\"

disgusted by the destruction, people also are likely differentiating their support for African-Americans being treated equally to the\u00a0leftist organization\u00a0Black Lives Matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In a 2015 interview, Patrisse Cullors, who co-founded the organization in 2013 along with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi, identified herself and
