I think it will be tough to find a story that has been more thoroughly misrepresented by the mainstream media that the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. The liberal media and the PC race baiters conspired to try to lynch a man who did nothing wrong. On the contrary, he was only trying to do the right thing by his community and in the end, was only defending himself.
But the media ginned up a totally fictional story about a white (actually latino) guy who stalked and murdered an innocent black teen in cold blood, because he hated his skin color. It was an out and out lie. It was a complete fabrication right from the get go. And their invention even included careful editing the audio tape that preceded the shooting in order to distort the facts and make George Zimmerman seem as guilty as they could.
But the truth has since come out and opinions are changing.
So this poll about how the public feels about the shooting is really irrelevant. It tells us nothing except that the media was caught with it's editorial hand in the cookie jar. And as the 'actual' facts have been released (of course) the public got it right. It's a shame we couldn't get the actual facts from the media in the first place. Just think of how helpful that would have been.
If I were George Zimmerman I would sue NBC news for their creative editing of the audio tape. that's at least part of the reason his life has been turned upside down.

Poll is useless since Zim - regardless of the outcome of the trial - will be a target of terror thanks to the wanton media.
I agree, I would get a pound of flesh from each of the news outlets that pursued the race angle or admitted to bad editing.
Slander & Libel.
For Zim, he is in a lose-lose situation. If he is aquitted or walks out of court, he doesn't have a security detail protecting himself or his family. Some punk or punks lookin to "make-bones" (and broward county is rife with this gang activity) will go seek and destroy on zim et al...
If he is convicted and must do some sort of time in the big house, he'd be placed in Ad.Seg, but for how long? Eventually someone on the inside will get to him.
BTW - this weekend in South Beach is Urban Beach Weekend. Look it up. There will be many "hoodies" present. SoBe will turn into a war zone.
The Miami Beach Cops have installed license plate scanners on the causeway and they will funnel traffic in at a snail's pace through only one artery.
By the time revellers make it to SoBe, I'm sure they will be so worked-up with rage that chaos will ensue.
I will be far away from SoBe this memorial weekend.
Shame on the city of Miami Beach for promoting the worst of humanity on a weekend to commenmorate those that gave all...
