More Americans Think George Zimmerman Shot Trayvon Martin in Self-Defense

A poll from Rasmussen Reports released on Tuesday finds that more Americans are starting to think that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense.

The poll of American adults finds that 24 percent of American adults think Zimmerman is guilty of murder -- down from 33 percent in a Rasmussen poll from late March and 30 percent in another poll taken in early April.

Back in March, 15 percent thought Zimmerman acted in self-defense -- but that number has jumped up to 40 percent in the new poll.

In the new poll, only 36 percent are undecided, down from 55 percent in the March poll.

The poll of 1,000 American adults was taken on May 19-20 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
