And since the death of George Floyd in police custody on May 25, public opinion on race, criminal justice and the Black Lives Matter movement has moved leftward. Over the last two weeks, support for Black Lives Matter increased by nearly as much as it had over the previous two years, according to data from [Civiqs](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgxzbGP0SraHR0cHM6Ly9jaXZpcXMuY29tLz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zNyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ycl8yMDIwMDYxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xOTM3MSZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MzA4NTAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgA_xrHkXnV3hC1SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), an online survey research firm. By a 28-point margin, Civiqs finds that a majority of American voters support the movement, up from a 17-point margin before the most recent wave of protests began. The survey is not the only one to suggest that recent protests enjoy broad public support. Weekly polling for the Democracy Fund’s [U.C.L.A./Nationscape](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgxzbGP0TDaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudm90ZXJzdHVkeWdyb3VwLm9yZy9uYXRpb25zY2FwZT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zNyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ycl8yMDIwMDYxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xOTM3MSZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MzA4NTAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgA_xrHkXnV3hC1SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) survey shows a significant increase in unfavorable views of the police, and an increase in the belief that African-Americans face a lot of discrimination. Perhaps most significant, the Civiqs data is not alone in suggesting that an outright majority of Americans agree with the central arguments of Black Lives Matter.
