New Civiqs #BlackLivesMatter 50-state poll shows dramatic movement nationwide

Our Civiqs daily tracking poll spanning three years showed America just how successful and powerful the Black Lives Matter protests have been in radically and rapidly shifting public opinion in favor of dramatic changes to the status quo. It’s no surprise, then, that it received front-page treatment at The New York Times as well as coverage in dozens of media outlets including MSNBC, Bloomberg, Washington Post, Politico, and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The amazing Rev. Dr. William Barber and Hillary Clinton (among many others) tweeted the chart out. 

Now, in our continued effort to better understand American public opinion and its response to critical issues facing our nation, we have expanded that daily tracker to all 50 states. 

Some quick observations about the top-line results: 

......

Wyoming is the only state with deep opposition to #BlackLivesMatter at minus-11 net approval (32% support, 43% oppose). (Also, a reminder that Washington, D.C. has more people, yet has two fewer senators.) On the other hand, even in Wyoming public opinion has moved dramatically in the right direction, from 62% opposed three years ago to 43% opposed today.
