Weeks of one-sided stories pushed by professional agitators like Al Sharpton have had an effect on public opinion. Last weekend, (3/25-3/26) CNN conducted a poll which showed 73% of adults believed Trayvon Martin's shooter George Zimmerman should be arrested. Now a new poll by WPA opinion dynamics finds that number has dropped sharply in just the last few days:
Our poll conducted Tuesday and Wednesday revealed that just 48% of Americans believe he should be arrested. Our poll matched the partisan distribution of the CNN poll, so this is a real and significant change in opinion as more key details came out over a few brief days. In addition to matching the partisan distribution, the WPA poll used the same language CNN had used previously: Based on what you have read or heard about this incident, do you think the police should or should not arrest George Zimmerman for shooting Trayvon Martin?
•Should 48%
•Should Not 16%
•Unsure 36%
What this shows is the effect of telling Zimmerman's side of the story....

People magazine was really disgustingly biased this week. I think this is the last time I buy People.
Mogadishu on the Mississippi. See America’s future today.
The unsure ones have an open mind and are not gullibly led by sensationalism.
They as well as a large number of the 48% who are slower on the uptake will eventually be convinced that Mr.Zimmerman acted in self defense as the facts emerge.
Neither does Obama or Holder.
I’d like to see a poll on whether or not due process is in order.
>> demonstrated an IQ mean in low to mid 80s
>> Hispanics a bit more
>> Whites in 105 to 110 range
Seriously that low? I kinda expected the average to be around 120, but I don’t track IQ much.
Careful there! Questions from the Verbal, Mathematical, Spatial, Visualization, Classification, Logic, and Pattern recognition categories have been determined to be racially biased. A non-biased test would include skills such as hand signals, spray painting, walking with pants below your butt, profanity, and pretending you didn't see anything,
Nobody but a few will study this after the way the Bell Curve folks and Rushton have been treated
The data is indisputable....the mere cultural observance profound
Here is one link....page two
i bought a copy of a recent National Geographic mag on 100 greatest science and tech discoveries of human history
all but 3 were Western Caucasian discoveries
1 was Persian ...an alternative medical code of treatment?
Chinese for the abacus and gunpowder which they used for rockets and fireworks before we go hold of it
the rest was Western Civ
I was surprised that nowadays very liberal NGS would print such truth which was of course commonplace in my youth
I have pals who have post grad in Cultural and Social Anthropology
the most brainwashed folks I know...they have been taught for a decade or more that whites stole just about everything from nonwhites
that is the essence of study today
Yeah, I’m familiar with the perceptions on that data.
I was never much concerned about the impact providing things were offset with good values. But with the decline of standards in the mix, we end up with a fairly grim situation.
How are you wardaddy? Good to hear from you.
So sorry, I was making a smart alec response on a serious thread. 48% below average IQ - a variation of the Lake Woebegon Effect - half above average, half below average.
when I was young the black community is general did have decent values...even though yes...it was a time of strife and I was in it...Jackson MS
ghettos up north were just really starting to crumble..early 60s...and spread
but blacks had real families as a rule...around 75-80 percent did...the opposite of today
were very Christian...especially the women
were educated better and longer...and yes...in segregated schools and colleges
and thug culture was non existent
they did have more issues than the white community...always had...revolving around the young adult male behavior like now but it was manageable..
and they were non hostile...at all...they were always kind to me...and i was in contact with blacks from birth on daily and in large numbers...something white freepers who homogeneous areas who like to bash us down here know little about
I never felt that stare as a white kid till on a subway in NYC in 1980
it’s very bad down here now...not like Detroit yet but getting there
