Races differ over George Zimmerman verdict: Poll

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll surveying public reactions to the recent George Zimmerman verdict reveals vast racial gaps among sentiments. While 86% of African-Americans surveyed disapproved of the jury’s not-guilty verdict, only 31% of whites disapproved. Eighty-seven percent of African-Americans felt the shooting was “unjustified,” compared with 33% of whites. The poll also found that 87% of African-Americans said they see inequality in the criminal justice system, compared with 41% of whites.
