Overall, more Americans support than oppose the recent racial justice protests after the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a new Ipsos poll finds. Here's how that support breaks down: Democrats - 75% Independents - 42% Republicans - 7%

People march in support of Jacob Blake and his family to the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wis., in August.People march in support of Jacob Blake and his family to the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wis., in August.As the nation grapples with questions of racial justice, Americans are increasingly polarized, according to a new poll, with Republicans far less likely to support protests sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake than previous demonstrations.

Biden told reporters on Wednesday that protesting and free speech is a right, but he denounced violence and looting. The former vice president againAbout one-third of poll respondents said they didn't have an opinion about how Trump and Biden have responded to protests and demonstrations taking place in Wisconsin and across the country following Blake's shooting. The Ipsos poll took place before Trump's visit to Kenosha.

"He is adding a lot of gasoline to a fire that's already kind of burning on its own," said Laurie Dozier, a Democrat from Cleveland. "I don't believe what they're doing is good for the Black community," Edward Bluemel, a Republican from the Chicago suburbs, said about the protesters in Wisconsin and elsewhere.

But here, too, the reactions broke down along familiar partisan and racial lines with few Republicans expressing support for how NBA players and Black Lives Matter responded, compared with overwhelming support from Democrats. The poll did reveal a few areas of agreement. For instance, three-quarters of all respondents said violence and damage caused by some protesters discredits the goal of achieving racial justice.

Where'd you go for that bit of info, Left-NPR? A predominately Blue state and hit up on the people there😄 You're about as slanted as CNN or NYT. Sit down with your misinformation.

Overall, more Americans oppose than support the recent racial justice protests after the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a new Ipsos poll finds. Here's how that opposition breaks down: Democrats - 25% Independents - 58% Republicans - 93% JackPosobiec NPR full of it again

MeToo

Let’s see a poll on what percentage of taxpayers support DefundNPR.

defundNPR The lies are atrocious

no they don't. Nobody supports the riots, destruction, burning, looting and attacking. NOBODY but the criminals. can you go 1 day without lying?

DefundNPR

“Racial justice protests” “Journalism” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Read your percentages again lol

Bull

Well I didn’t get polled but then again I never do. So I consider your poll to be false

hahahhaha yea right. That's why Biden went from 'peaceful protests are good' to 'the violence is Trump's fault.' DefundNPR

Quite frankly I just don’t trust NPR anymore. At all. 0%

So 93% of Republicans are racist. Got it. But almost eeeeevery R claims they’re part of the magic unicorn 7%.

I support protests not riots and when the protests cover for riots I cannot support protests. Take it online.

Peaceful protests are alright. I can get behind this. However, it’s the rioting, destruction of property, criminal bullsh*t that I can’t support. Tell all those white troublemakers to go home and finish growing up and maybe people might take this cause seriously. Until then . .

Ok , you should seriously ALL be *fired*. Not only is your headline FALSE, the evidence of its falseness is ACTUALLY in your own article!! Which, if you take time to read, says: 'Overall 43% of Americans support the protests'. Need evidence? See your screenshot:

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but protesting does not equal rioting. Rioters are like the drunk idiot at the bar who wants to fight everyone, they‘re not the majority. Time for some critical thinking: why would certain people push the narrative that everyone is rioting?

This shouldn’t be a liberal x Trump issue. I’m sad there isn’t more support from people who claim they want freedom and respect for the constitution. Selective human rights are wrong!!

So inaccurate! Americans support legal protest not rioting or looting or destruction of property!

Burning down a car dealership is not a protest

What about looting?

Racial justice, protesting peacefully or burning looting and killing? Please give us a breakdown.

That's because most Americans are decent people. The numbers just about reflect the percentage of rabid trumpies, while you're at it.

Looting, rioting, burning down businesses...grow up people.

Republicans don't care about people.

Protest or riots. It’s all how you look at it. I’m sure if you ask if people support the riots, the answer would be no.

Overall, NPR is propaganda.

Seriously, which NPRConference room was this poll 'sampled'?

Double check the polls

Do they support systemic changes or just the idea that racism is wrong? White liberals have been claiming racism is wrong for decades but they can't seem to stop conservatives..

Obviously fake poll.

Call BS. No one wants their cities destroyed and looted for nonsensical nonexistent “racial justice”. All a farce and supported by democrats bc they hate themselves and what their party stands/stood for.

A shame that Vicky Osterweil did not conduct this poll, since you guys are pals now. She could have asked if 75% of Democrats support looting.

Right, like we're supposed to believe a poll that NPR PAID for. Yeah, right - tell us more BS!!

what a lame poll. 'do you support protests and demonstrations' You could have added another question 'Do you still support protests and demonstrations when they include looting, arson and violence?' and that would give you more interesting information.

43% support the movement. It would be interesting to know how much of that is influenced by the narratives currently driven by most of the media, celebrites, and sports figures.

Do most support the looting, destruction and violence that is going on as well?

Republicans are really out of touch with what our fellow man has to tolerate. Maybe develop some sympathy.

Yeah we all believe your polling...don't believe the hype!

Not all Republicans are racist, but if you’re a racist you’re a Republican

News needs to expose who is infuriating these protests

Yet these protests and the infiltration of crime being unchecked will keep republicans in power and zero opportunity to improve. Work smarter not harder.

defundNPR

Was this an internal poll?

KKK held massive parade in the heart of D.C. in 1925. Not surprised by Republican's low support. Republicans America LawAndOrder

By election day the Republicans will be down to zero

Was this done before you came out in defense of looting?

I would say ALL Americans support racial justice. Hell, I do. But your survey didn’t ask if ppl supported violence in the street, burning, looting, defunding the police, BLM, (the organization-not actual black lives) antifa, and the destruction of personal and public property.

You're not counting me and everyone I know. This must be another poll from the leftist pollsters that told us Hillary was all but guarantied to be the next Jezebel, I mean president in 2016.

Less than 1/2 of whites and Hispanics support the riots. Only 2/3 of Blacks support.

Another lie. People need to start pulling their funding from this liberal political organization.

Agreed.

Hmmmm are R’s ..... racist.....😱

Fake movement. Fake Party. Burn Loot Murder

it’s not difficult to believe that 93% of the people that voted for a racist, are racist themselves.

DeFund NPR......

I love that we're in the bizzarro world scenario where idiots are taking polls on which party supports protests instead of just fixing the F'ing problem. Political parties need to be abolished. Burned. Crushed. Buried. Forgotten.

Now do school choice.

In another poll, overall, more Americans support law enforcement fatally shooting non compliant felony criminals. npr newsnotnews Entertainment 🍅

Deplorable here... we do not support rioting and looting and people who jump to conclusions about just before a complete investigation is done. Shocking i know...

Who do you guys poll

America in 1 poll.

Why aren't elected officials listen to the protests and acting on the problems? Thought that that's what they were elected for. Am I wrong?

That's because the mainstream media pumps the populace full of lies and rhetoric to further their agenda. I will never trust you guys again after the Kyle R coverage. I watched the whole thing unfold live with my own eyes and then watched the world lie about it. Shame on you.

Nah, you'r native is dead. He's a criminal who sexually assaulted someone. Hence why the cops were called. Here got what he deserved.

Yes, Virginia, the 'Basket of Deplorables' is real . . .

Protest no problem. Rioting, destroying, burning, violence is bullshit and Americans are tired of it. Your headline is misleading. fakenews

Wow so 93% of Republicans support racism and cannot process reality? Thought it would be a high number but that is really high.

'Racial justice' is a buzzword, just say support for the BlackLivesMatter movement.

30 day Facebook fbnewsroom FacebookWatch ban for showing Democrat racist ways. You are not allowed to expose Democrat racist ways as seen here. FB helps hide it

What's the difference between racial justice and justice?

Their domestic terrorists, they should all go to jail.

Most Blacks are racists.

I see democrats are still the crazy ones

NPR always trying to promote hate and division

bullshit

but the GOP is not racists

Why dont these idiots just get a job? They just want free stuff. Not getting a dime from me.

Did Blake comply with police officers before getting shot? Asking for a friend

Didn't they just have a whole-ass convention to tell everyone they're not racist?
