Polls show shift in public opinion about Trayvon Martin's shooter | Jacksonville.com Mobile Edition
Hmm a change of +25 for GZ and a loss of -9 for the lynch mob.
And as time has passed and more evidence has been released, people's feelings about Zimmerman have eased.
In late March, while people were still marching in the streets demanding his arrest, 33 percent of the country believed Zimmerman was guilty of murder, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports.
The same poll showed that fewer than half that number 15 percent believed Zimmerman had acted in self-defense.
Two months later, however, those numbers had flip-flopped. In a May 19-20 Rasmussen poll, 40 percent said they believed Zimmerman had acted in self-defense vs. 24 percent who called him a murderer.
Hmm a change of +25 for GZ and a loss of -9 for the lynch mob.
