George Zimmerman Verdict Divides Nation

The George Zimmerman verdict has created a divided nation, according to recent polls on the topic.

The Florida trial that acquitted George Zimmerman on charges of murder and manslaughter in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin has left Americans with strong opinions about the verdict.

Forty-two percent of Americans say they are either satisfied or pleased by the verdict, but 46% describe themselves as either disappointed or angry.

Not surprisingly, opinions on the Zimmerman verdict are split strongly across racial lines. While 52% of whites are satisfied with the not guilty verdict, 94% of blacks feel differently: 53% of blacks say they are disappointed and 41% describe themselves as angry.

How do you feel about the George Zimmerman verdict? Do you think that Zimmerman would have been acquitted had the trial taken place in New England, or do you believe he would have been found guilty of second degree murder or manslaughter?
