From same article

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.

Thanks for mentioning this -- I would have posted more, but in making it up, the posting routine warned me that for JWR only excerpts were permitted, so I only dared print part of the article before redirecting.

There has been a lot of excitement and vituperation over aspects that were only barely tangent to the most important trend in this Martin/Zimmerman issue, which is -- where was opinion at beginning, what turns has it taken, where is it now; but more prescient, where is it headed going up to the trial date? THEN what?

But your note here has finally drawn attention back to the theme of the article's title and subject. Wish there had been more comment on it.

Thanks!
