The dramatic decrease can be largely attributed to a precipitous drop in support from independent voters. While support from Democrats and opposition from Republicans has remained fairly constant over the last several years, net support for BLM from independent voters has plummeted from 25 percent at its peak in June 2020 to -8 percent now.
I would actually disagree with this interpretation. If you look at the poll, republican voters, which make up a larger demographic, went from -50% to -83%.

Because they're not being fired up by democrat politicians to burn down and loot cities. It's just like everyone says constantly: Black Lives only matter during election years.

I find it interesting that support is at an all time low because there's been no msm news worthy stories to report.
I feel it kind of disprove the point that this article is making that they had a much higher level of support while "burning down main street".
The squeaky wheel gets the attention I suppose.
