Fox News just released a nationwide poll in generall in keeping with many others, finding voters are unhappy with the economy and want Obamacare repealed.
But what's truly eye-opening are the comparisons of partisan opinions of President Barack Obama and George Zimmerman, who was acquitted July 13 of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges for shooting unarmed Miami Gardens 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.
Republicans have a more-favorable opinion of Zimmerman, a figure of sympathy to a number of conservatives, than Obama. That's right: The Democratic occupant of the White House is held in less favorable regard by Republicans than the guy who shot an unarmed teenager and successfully pleaded self-defense.
Specifically: Republicans are two-and-a-half times more-likely to have a favorable opinion of Zimmerman than Obama. And they're almost three-times more likely to have an unfavorable opinion of Obama than Zimmerman.
Republicans, with independents siding more with them, also agree with the verdict more than Democrats (who disagree with it). There's also a clear racial divide......

Since Zimmerman still supports Obama 100%, why the big difference?
Well, duh!
Actually, I like Trayvon Martin more than I like 0bama.
Link?

No spin there.
How about “the guy who successfully defended himself from an attack by a large thug” as the more proper description?
I hadn’t heard or read that Zimmerman was tried on a manslaughter charge.
Fox Tried Seven Times to Get the Brother of Zimmerman to Criticize Obama (It Didn't Work) [BARF!]
So you’re completely in lockstep with your brothers and sisters? I’m not. I didn’t see the name “George Zimmerman” there.
I like Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton more than Mr. Obama, this isn’t a high bar.
It was a lesser included charge. They also tried to tack on 3rd degree murder-child abuse in there.
Moreover, do you have any evidence that George Zimmerman doesn't agree with him, or is critical of him in any way? (Other than you don't think he should be?)

Thank you, Billthedrill!
I don’t have to prove a negative, but nice try.
Put GZ on the ticket with Rick Perry as his VP. lol
Sheesh, he's SURPRISED? What a moron, this is a no-brainer: one is a destroying our country and trying to quash our spirits & will; the other steps forward to help form a neighborhood watch group, work in his neighborhood, & rescue people from a burning car.
So do I. Amateur evil is not as bad as professional evil.
Jimmah Carter doesn’t look so bad at this point!...
I agree. It’s sickening. Notice they never include “teen who was bashing Zimmerman’s head on the sidewalk”.
