Majority of voters say BLM demonstrations are riots — not protests

The findings come amid months of heightened police-community tensions following the death of George Floyd in May.

What are the details?
The poll, released on Sunday, found that 48% of likely voters believe protests taking place across the country — in cities such as Rochester, Portland, and Kenosha — are riots, while 40% view the demonstrations as protests.

According to Fox, the national survey is the first the network has conducted among likely voters in 2020.
Of those responding, 39% said that violence stemming from the demonstrations is due to "left-wing radicals," while 33% blamed "right-wing radicals"; 9% of respondents said that blame could be apportioned to both sides.

The poll's findings were split along party lines, with 68% of Republicans referring to the demonstrations as riots and just 30% of Democrats agreeing.
