What exactly is that poll supposed to tell us? If there are no I'm-not-sure's in the poll that would indicate that 58% of blacks believe he's guilty. What's the apples-to-apples comparison there?

If there are no I'm-not-sure's in the poll that would indicate that 58% of blacks believe he's guilty Huh? Where do you see that in the Gallup Poll?

What I was attempting to find was the Foxnews poll showing the difference in attitude among black vs. white as to his guilt and innocence and the finding was an eye opener. In an article entitled "Race rift resurfaces with Jackson case", the writer supports the claim saying....

"Many people have made up their minds about whether Michael is innocent or guilty. According to a Fox News poll conducted recently, 35 percent of Americans said they think Michael is guilty, while 22 percent said they think he's innocent. The largest share, 43 percent, said they aren't sure.

What's more intriguing is that white respondents to the poll were twice as likely to say Michael is guilty as innocent (38 percent vs. 17 percent). Forty-four percent of whites said they're unsure. On the other hand, blacks were nearly four times as likely to say Michael is innocent as guilty (58 percent vs. 15 percent). Only 26 percent of blacks said they weren't sure"
