Dharun Ravi was sentenced May 21 to 30 days in jail, three years probation, counseling and 300 hours of community service. He could have received up to 10 years in prison.
The Rutgers-Eagleton poll released Thursday found 51 percent of respondents said Ravi's sentence for bias intimidation and invasion of privacy convictions in the Tyler Clementi case was "not tough enough."
Thirty-nine percent think Ravi got "the sentence he deserves," while seven percent believe it was "too tough."
The poll surveyed 1,191 adults from May 31-June 4 and has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
