Protests are so unpopular...... [View all]
On three occasions, Gallup polled Americans to gauge whether they think mass protests help or hurt the cause they intend to advance. "Hurt" was the response of 57%, 60% and 74% of respondents, across the three polls, while "Help" was the response of 27%, 27% and 16%. Those polls were not recent, incidentally. They were taken in May of 1961, 1963 and 1964, and were specifically asking about the Civil Rights Movement. Of course, we all know how that turned out, and on which side the judgment of history ultimately fell.
