Sexual harassment/abuse is in the headlines these days, and those in power who have been guilty of it are feeling the pressure. Two Democrats (Conyers and Franken) have resigned because of accusations, while Republicans Farenthold and Moore are trying to ride it out in hopes of staying in power. But the biggest sex abuser of all, Donald Trump, seems to be made of teflon. He was elected after numerous accusations, and still denies doing anything (even though there is a tape of him admitting it, and actually bragging about his sexual misconduct). That could be changing though.
The charts above were made from information in a new Quinnipiac University Poll -- done between November 29th and December 4th of a random national sample of 1,747 adults, with a 2.8 point margin of error.
The poll shows that 66% of the public believes any politician accused by multiple people of sexual harassment/abuse should resign. And they are not willing to let Trump off the hook. About 70% of the public thinks Congress should investigate the charges against him (while only 25% oppose that).
Trump thought he had put those accusations, as credible as they are, in the past. But with sexual misconduct in the headlines, and others being forced to resign, maybe Trump will finally have to face his own misconduct.
