Americans are divided over whether they’d have found George Zimmerman guilty of a crime in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll. But the survey reveals a stark divide between black and white Americans over the outcome of the case.

Forty-one percent of respondents to the new poll said that they would have voted to find Zimmerman not guilty if they were on the jury, while a combined 38 percent said they’d have found him guilty of one of two crimes, including 15 percent who said they’d have voted to find him guilty of murder and 23 percent guilty of manslaughter. Twenty-one percent said they weren’t sure.

Asked which of four words best described their response to the verdict, respondents were closely divided between positive reactions (22 percent were “pleased” and 19 percent were “relieved”) and negative ones (27 percent were “disappointed” and 13 percent were “angry”).

Black respondents were much more likely than white respondents both to say that Zimmerman was guilty of a crime and to express disappointment or anger over the verdict.

Among black respondents, 75 percent said that they would have found Zimmerman guilty of a crime — 39 percent said guilty of manslaughter, while 36 percent said guilty of murder. Among white respondents, only 34 percent would have found him guilty of one of the two crimes.
