Big gap between races in U.S. on Trayvon Martin killing:  "Americans are deeply divided by race over the killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, with 91 per cent of African Americans saying he was unjustly killed while just 35 per cent of whites thought so, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Thursday.  Fifty-nine per cent of Hispanics believe that Martin was innocent and unjustly killed six weeks ago, according to the online poll of 1,922 Americans, conducted Monday through Thursday.  In a sign of how riveted Americans have been by the case, 93 per cent of those surveyed said they were aware of the shooting, which set off heated debates over race, gun control and crime.  "African Americans have a significantly different perspective on the whole incident than white Americans or Hispanic Americans," said Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson. "This incident is one of the clearest splits we've seen between whites and blacks."
