6 in 10 gals ‘harassed’

Sixty percent of American women say they have been sexually harassed, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Of that group, 69 percent say they were hit on at work, 43 percent say in social settings, 45 percent say in the street and 15 percent say at home, the Quinnipiac University survey found. Twenty percent of men say they have been sexually harassed.

Nearly 90 percent of men and women alike say sexual harassment of women is a serious problem.

On a related front, voters by a 60-to-28 percent margin believe that the US Senate should expel Republican Roy Moore — who has been accused of unwanted sexual advances or assaults on teenage girls when he was in his 30s — if he wins the Dec. 12 special election in Alabama.

Republicans remained in Moore’s corner, however, with 49 percent saying he didn’t deserve to get tossed out, while 33 percent saying he did.

“A vast majority of American men and women are deeply troubled by sexual harassment and the numbers underscore why. A stunning six in 10 women say they have been victimized,” said pollster Tim Malloy.

“Roy Moore may make it to the Senate chambers, but an overwhelming majority of American voters would like to rip the welcome mat out from under him and send him packing back to Alabama.”

The poll also found that President Trump’s approval rating remains underwater — though it showed some improvement over a Quinnipiac poll from a week earlier.

Voters disapprove of Trump by 55 percent to 38 percent, compared with a 58 percent-to35 percent disapproval rating in the Nov. 14 survey.

Voters also say by 59 to 34 percent that Trump does not respect women as much as he does men.

The poll was conducted from Nov. 15 to Nov. 20.

The university surveyed 1,415 voters nationwide. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
