Ok, look at it this way: You think 102,874 is a large number of Sentinel's readers. The Orlando Sentinel has a weekly circulation of about 1.7 million [1,365,558 (6x227,593 daily) 332,030 (Sunday)]. 102,874 is about 6% of their total weekly circulation. So, by this number, 6% of the total readers in the heart of the Casey Anthony trial cared enough to say the verdict was wrong.
If you want to limit it to numbers of online readers, The Sentinel's shared online readership (ones who read both hard copies and online is 155,000 daily. Multiply that by 7, and you get a weekly online readership of 1,085,000
Assuming the poll was only open for a week (and to my knowlege it was created right after the verdict and is still running) it's still only 9% of their readers voting. Again, these are readers at Casey Anthony ground zero.
I repeat, there is no way you can say two thirds of the American population feels the verdict was wrong, based on any polls. I just can not believe two thirds of the American population even cares one way or another.

At least 78% of Orlando Sentinel's online readership who responded to the poll (102,874) apparently care about this verdict and feel ICA is guilty. Those are huge numbers to my mind.. multiply that by the number of papers and TV stations both local and national, who have held polls with results very similar- IMO it is far higher than two thirds I keep seeing cited, but I don't know where that number originated.
Paper Circulation of the OS is 225,000 daily so the online numbers are significant.
