Poll after poll has shown that the general public thinks sexual harassment, abuse, and assault are serious problems in the United States -- and too many men in power are abusing their power to make sexual demands. They want the problem dealt with.
How are the entities where sexual misconduct has been discovered dealt with it? Not too well, according to the public.
The news media has done the best. They have 48% approval for their actions and 42% disapproval -- a net approval gap of 6 points. No one else comes close to that. The entertainment industry has a negative 13 point net approval gap. The Democratic Party has a negative 22 point net approval gap. The Republican Party has a negative 39 point net approval gap. And Donald Trump has a negative 41 point net approval gap.
Those are some pretty bad numbers -- especially for the politicians, who have an election coming up in less than a year.
The chart above uses numbers from 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.
