OverviewThe public is divided over the not guilty verdict in the George
Zimmerman trial and over the conversation about race that has surrounded
it. The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted
July 17-21 among 1,480 adults nationwide finds roughly as many satisfied with the verdict in the case (39%) as dissatisfied (42%), with nearly one-in-five (19%) offering no opinion.
More broadly, 52% say race is getting more attention in this case than it deserves, while 36% say the case raises important issues about race that need to be discussed.
African Americans express a clear and strong reaction to the case and its meaning: By an 86% to 5% margin, blacks are dissatisfied with
Zimmerman’s acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin. And nearly
eight-in-ten blacks (78%) say the case raises important issues about race that need to be discussed.
Among whites, more are satisfied (49%) than dissatisfied (30%) with the
outcome of the Zimmerman trial. Just 28% of whites say the case raises
important issues about race, while twice as many (60%) say the issue of
race is getting more attention than it deserves.
