Support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is plunging in the key election battleground state of Minnesota, according to Breitbart News.
The survey, conducted by the Trafalgar Group in mid-August, shows that the approval rating for BLM has dropped to just 53% in Minnesota, with 36.2% disapproving and 10.8% unsure. That is still a positive majority, but when asked if BLM “has made race relations better, worse or about the same,” a full 45% of likely voters surveyed said they believe BLM made race relations worse. Only 34% believe BLM made race relations better, and 20% believe about the same.
36.4% agreed that BLM is a “violent organization”; 54.6% said no, and 9% were unsure. Only 53.3% said they welcome BLM in their neighborhood, while 46.7% said BLM was not welcome.
“In conclusion, the survey suggests the voter consensus that BLM needs to successfully advocate for the more popular changes they have built a movement around, no longer exist…” Trafalgar wrote in a memo. “As it stands now the BLM brand is too damaged in Minnesota to be effective.”
