The findings in this analysis are based on a survey of 9,220 U.S. adults conducted Aug. 31-Sept. 7, 2020. Everyone who took part is a member of Pew Research Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

Around seven-in-ten Republicans (69%) say the protests have received too much attention from news organizations, while more than eight-in-ten Democrats say they have received either the right amount (51%) or too little (33%). Conservative Republicans are especially likely to say the protests have received too much attention (75% say this), while an even larger share of liberal Democrats say they have received the right amount (53%) or too little (38%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opinions are also divided along racial and ethnic lines. The largest share of White adults (49%) say the protests have drawn too much attention from news organizations, while around a third (34%) say they\u2019ve gotten the right amount of attention and 17% say they\u2019ve gotten too little. Black adults overwhelmingly say the protests have drawn either the right amount of attention (45%) or not enough (42%); just 13% believe they have received too little attention. Majorities of Hispanic and Asian Americans also say the protests have received the right amount of attention or not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older Americans are more likely to believe recent protests have gotten too much media attention; conversely, younger adults are more likely to say they\u2019ve gotten too little. Around half of those ages 65 and older (49%) say the protests have drawn too much attention, compared with 27% of adults under 30. Those under 30, in turn, are far more likely than those 65 and older to say the protests have drawn too little attention (40% vs. 13%). There are no major age differences in the share of Americans who believe the protests have received the <em>right amount<\/em> of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also some differences in these views by educational attainment. More than four-in-ten Americans with some college education or less (44%) say the recent protests have gotten too much attention, compared with a third of those with a bachelor\u2019s degree or more. Those with at least a bachelor\u2019s degree, in turn, are more likely than those with less education to say the protests have received the right amount of attention (45% vs. 32%). Both groups are about equally likely to say the protests have received <em>too little<\/em> attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate Pew Research Center survey fielded Sept. 8 to 13, a little over half of Americans (55%) say they <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2020\/09\/16\/support-for-black-lives-matter-has-decreased-since-june-but-remains-strong-among-black-americans\/\">strongly or somewhat support the Black Lives Matter movement<\/a>, which has played a key role in the recent protests over racial inequality.
