Around four-in-ten Black adults in the United States (39%) say Black Lives Matter has done the most to help Black people in recent years, far exceeding the share who say the same about other groups or organizations, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.

By comparison, around one-in-five Black adults (17%) say the NAACP has done the most to help Black people in the U.S. in recent years and 13% say the same about Black churches or religious organizations. Smaller shares point to the Congressional Black Caucus (6%) and the National Urban League (3%), while 14% of Black adults choose someone else.

The survey provided respondents with a set of answer options and did not specify whether Black Lives Matter was the name of an organization or the broader protest movement. But regardless of how respondents interpreted the term, Black Lives Matter outranked the other entities that were asked about.

The question was part of an October 2021 survey that examined Black Americans views of their position in U.S. society and their attitudes about social change. The survey included Black adults who are single-race, non-Hispanic; those who are multiracial, non-Hispanic; and those who indicate they are Black and Hispanic. It was conducted prior to allegations of financial mismanagement at a foundation that grew out of the Black Lives Matter protest movement.

This Pew Research Center analysis examines Black Americans attitudes about the groups and leaders they see as most helpful and important today. It relies primarily on an online survey conducted Oct. 4-17, 2021, among 3,912 Black U.S. adults, including those who are single-race, non-Hispanic; those who are multiracial, non-Hispanic; and those who indicate they are Black and Hispanic. The survey included 1,025 Black adults on Pew Research Centers American Trends Panel (ATP) and 2,887 Black adults on Ipsos KnowledgePanel.

Respondents on both survey panels are recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. Recruiting panelists by phone or mail ensures that nearly all Black U.S. adults have a chance of selection. This gives us confidence that any sample can represent the whole population. (See our Methods 101 explainer on random sampling.) Here are the questions used for the survey of Black adults, along with responses, and its methodology.

This analysis also includes additional data from other recent Pew Research Center surveys about how the broader U.S. public, including adults and teens ages 13 to 17, see the Black Lives Matter movement. Links to these surveys, including information about the field dates, sample sizes and other methodological details, are available in the text.

The survey highlighted differences of opinion among Black Americans on many questions, including at least to some extent the perceived importance of Black Lives Matter for helping Black people. For example, Black adults who identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party are more likely than those who identify with or lean toward the Republican Party to say Black Lives Matter has done the most to help Black people in recent years (44% vs. 26%). Similarly, almost half of Black adults who describe their political views as liberal (47%) say the same about Black Lives Matter, compared with smaller shares of Black moderates (41%) and Black conservatives (32%).

Among the broader public, a little over half of U.S. adults (56%) say they strongly or somewhat support the Black Lives Matter movement, according to a separate Pew Research Center poll conducted in March 2022. (The March 2022 survey asked about Black Lives Matter as a movement, unlike the October 2021 survey.)

Among U.S. teens, support for the Black Lives Matter movement is higher than it is among adults. Seven-in-ten teens ages 13 to 17 say they strongly or somewhat support the movement, according to a survey conducted in April and May 2022.

The October 2021 survey of Black adults also asked respondents, in an open-ended format, to identify the Black leader they see as most important in the U.S. today.

Three-in-ten Black adults volunteer former President Barack Obama, the nations first Black chief executive, while 8% name current Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black person ever to serve in that role. Around one-in-five Black adults (19%) say they are not sure who the countrys most important Black leader is, while 16% cite someone other than Obama or Harris, including small percentages who name leaders such as current Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, the Rev. Jesse Jackson or the Rev. Al Sharpton.

As is the case in Black adults views of Black Lives Matter, there are partisan differences in perceptions of the nations most important Black leader. Black Democrats are about twice as likely as Black Republicans (35% vs. 16%) to volunteer Obama, while Black Republicans are more likely than Black Democrats (33% vs. 18%) to say they are not sure. Among ideological groups, four-in-ten Black liberals name Obama, compared with three-in-ten Black moderates and around a quarter of Black conservatives (23%).

While there are age differences in Black Americans views on several questions in the Centers recent survey, there are no such differences when it comes to perceptions of Obama as the most important Black leader in the U.S. today. Black adults under 50 are just as likely as those ages 50 and older to volunteer Obama as the most important Black leader: 30% in each group name the former president.

Welcome to another eventful week of Joe Biden senior moments. Our putty-brained president did his best to top last week's entry, which involved a failed attempt to converse with a dead congresswoman.

Biden continues to find new and inventive ways to look ridiculous while attempting to speak the English language. "Let me start off with two words," he said Friday at an event in Maryland. "Made in America."

Fact check: That's three words. Biden lied.

This week the president honored a Democratic colleague for being "the most congresswoman in the Congress," touted health care protections for people with "prexshging [sic] conditions," and warned Republicans to "get ready, bal [sic]" ahead of the midterm elections in November.

Additionally, Biden narrowly avoided a serious injury (or worse) while attempting todisembark Air Force One, wandered around like a confused old man, and told Rev. Al Sharpton, a notoriousanti-Semite, that he planned to run for reelection in 2024.

Have a great weekend!

Renowned Civil Rights Leader Rev. Al Sharpton, founder and president of the New York-based National Action Network, will co-lead a rally outside the Cleveland City Hall, at 601 Lakeside Ave. E., in Cleveland, on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022, where Black contractors and community leaders will call on the mayor and city council to withhold tax dollars that have been earmarked for the construction of The Sherwin-Williams Companys new global headquarters.

The economic justice rally, where the participants will also call on Sherwin-Williams to name a Black-owned firm as a key partner in the project, begins at 11:00 a.m. ET.

We are calling on Mayor Justin Bibb and the city council to withhold all funds earmarked for The Sherwin-Williams project, Rev. Sharpton said.

We want a forensic report to show the public how the money has been spent. Tax dollars spent on Sherwin-Williams should benefit all citizens of Cleveland. We want economic parity. We want our elected officials to take action to end poverty and close the wealth gaps. Cleveland is 51 percent Black. Black people cannot be on the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to making profits on this project.

With his visit to Cleveland next week, Rev. Sharpton becomes the latest of several legendary civil rights leaders joining the campaign for economic parity in Cleveland. He follows Dr. Charles Steele, Jr., president and CEO of the Atlanta-based Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the organization co-founded and first led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Martin King III, the eldest son of Dr. King, former U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young, who was a close aide to Dr. King, and Civil Rights Icon Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., who heads the Rainbow PUSH Coalition in Chicago. Rev. Jackson, who also worked closely with Dr. King, visited Cleveland in July to meet with Black leaders who were divided over approaches for addressing diversity, equity and inclusion surrounding the project.

All of the leaders have appealed to Sherwin-Williams to settle a dispute between the Black Contractors Group of Cleveland (BCG), which is led by Mr. Norm Edwards and the SCLCs Cleveland Chapter, which is led by Dr. Rev. E.T. Caviness.

This dispute began in September 2020 when the BCG and the Cleveland Chapter of the SCLC called on Sherwin-Williams to name an African American-owned firm as a key partner on the construction of the corporate tower, which will enhance the citys skyline. At that time, the global paint and coating company, ranked 162 on the Fortune list of companies, announced nine partners to build its office complex and a research and development center in suburban Brecksville. All of the partners are white. In one of the nations poorest big cities, where the majority of residents are African American, the leaders say Sherwin-Williams failure to name a Black-owned firm as a key partner is unacceptable.

The BCG and the SCLC met with Sherwin-Williams. Both sides agreed upon a Black-owned firm that could be named a key partner, but talks stalled, and Sherwin-Williams has refused to return to the negotiating table. Since that disagreement, the SCLC and the BCG have held protests. They called in Dr. Steele from the national office of the SCLC to lead the campaign. Since the protests, Sherwin-Williams has awarded numerous contracts to minority-owned firms, but the company refuses to return to the negotiating table to name a Black-owned firm as a key partner, and that is why the protests continue and Rev. Sharpton has been called in to lend his support.

This is great news for our movement and for all Black residents of this city, Edwards said.

Our national leaders understand what is at stake and that is why they are joining with us. We want our local leaders to follow their lead. This is the only way to end poverty and close the wealth gaps. The Sherwin-Williams project is the most vivid example of why these problems persist.

Added Dr. Steele, Business as usual is no longer acceptable. We want to see what the nine white partners are earning. Like Selma is to the right to vote, Cleveland will become the battleground for economic justice. With Rev. Sharpton joining our effort, we are sure this campaign will gain national momentum.

Rev. Al Sharpton Heads Rally in Cleveland to Demand Transparency of Taxpayer Dollars Toward Construction of Ne - Black Enterprise

President Biden told Rev. Al Sharpton that he will run for re-election in 2024 during a visit to the White House that was reportedly recounted by the clergyman to his staffers.

Sharpton shared the revelation with employees of his National Action Network after meeting with the commander-in-chief earlier this month,NBC Newsreported on Monday.

Im going to do it again, Biden told Sharpton as they posed for a photograph in the Roosevelt Room, a National Action Network official recounted Sharpton saying.

Biden, 79, met with leaders of civil rights organizations on Sept. 2, including Sharpton, theWhite House said in a readoutfrom that meeting.

The group discussed their shared commitment to advancing legislation protecting voting rights and to combating hate-fueled violence, the readout said.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Post.

Biden has not officially announced whether he would seek a second term, and has brushed off questions that seek to get him to tip his hand.

Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But its just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen, Biden said during an interview last month onCBS News 60 Minutes.

Its much too early to make that kind of decision. Im a great respecter of fate. And so, what Im doing is Im doing my job. Im gonna do that job, he said. And within the timeframe that makes sense after this next election cycle here, going into next year, make a judgment on what to do.

That interview aired two weeks after Biden hosted Sharpton in the White House.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams again claimed that she never challenged or denied the outcome of 2018 Georgia governor's race she lost to current Gov. Brian Kemp.

Appearing on CNNs "Erin Burnett OutFront" Monday, Abrams spoke about a federal judge shooting down the lawsuit brought by her organization Fair Fight Action which challenged Georgias election practices. Because this lawsuit came after Abrams refusing to concede the 2018 election, host Erin Burnett questioned if this loss would lead to her acknowledging Kemps victory.

"Is there any scenario under which you would concede that you lost publicly in 2018?" Burnett asked.

Abrams replied, "In 2018, on the day I made that speech, if you play the beginning of the speech, I acknowledged that I am not the governor, that Brian Kemp won the election. What I said is that the process denied access to too many voters. And that was proven by more than 3,000 voters who made their voices heard of trial and a process that was the first full-length trial held on voting rights in more than a decade in the state of Georgia."

She added, "I have never denied the outcome. I have always questioned the process and the access. And I think its dangerous and disingenuous to conflate concerns about access and concerns about outcome. Outcome is about who wins. And no one is entitled to victory, including myself. I have never been unclear about the fact that I did not win the race. But access belongs to every eligible American. And it is incumbent upon every person at every level of government and in our society to demand that equal access to the right to vote be made available in this country. And thats what I continue to fight for."

Abrams famously refused to concede the election to Kemp in 2018 and even suggested that Kemp, as Secretary of State, enacted policies to suppress Georgia voters. She has since denied "challenging" the election and has acknowledged Kemp as the governor of Georgia "under the rules that were in place."

WASHINGTON POST ANALYSIS SAYS STACEY ABRAMS PLAYED UP STOLEN ELECTION CLAIMS UNTIL IT WAS UNTENABLE

Although the Democratic Party and liberal media have attacked Republicans for refusing to accept election results, Abrams has largely been a media darling for progressives. In September, members of ABCs "The View" praised Abrams for her actions in not conceding the election.

"I have never denied that I lost. I dont live in the governors mansion. I would have noticed," she said on "The View."

In 2019, Abrams addressed a crowd at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network and said, "Despite the final tally and the inauguration [of Gov. Brian Kemp] and the situation we find ourselves in, I do have a very affirmative statement to make: We won."
