CNN poll: 7 in 10 Americans say sexual harassment is a very serious problem

Americans view sexual harassment far more seriously than they did two decades ago, a new CNN Poll Conducted by SSRS shows.

Nearly seven in ten Americans say sexual harassment is a very serious problem, according to the poll, a 34-point shift from a CNN/Time poll conducted in 1998.

Women are more likely than men to view harassment as extremely or very serious, 73% versus 63%. The concern of Democrats and independents far outpaces Republicans. Eighty-five percent of Democrats and 68% of independents see harassment as extremely or very serious, compared with 45% of Republicans.

The latest findings come amid a reckoning over sexual harassment in the workplace that spans industries from politics to media, from sports to the entertainment business. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers face significant pressure to reform the process through which sexual harassment is handled on both sides of the Rotunda, including the once-secretive fund that pays out harassment settlements.

That’s about 30 percent. Trump’s approval is hovering in the mid-30’s.

Doesn’t take a genius to figure this out.

Because our government doesn't know how to handle it. Of course, they, themselves, may be the larger part of the problem.
