Sample and Methodology detail





Almost half of American women, 47 percent, say they've been sexually assaulted, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.





The independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll asked a random sample of 1,747 American adults: "Have you ever been sexually assaulted, meaning someone touched you in an inappropriate, sexual manner without your consent, or not?"





Among all adults, 32 percent say they were assaulted, including 17 percent of men and 47 percent of women. The pattern is consistent across all age groups as 33 percent of people 18 to 34 years old, 30 percent of people 35 to 49 years old, 36 percent of people 50 to 64 years old and 34 percent of people over 65 years old say they were sexually assaulted.





Among those men and women who say they were sexually assaulted, 39 percent say it happened in social settings; 37 percent say it happened at work, 27 percent say it happened at home; 20 percent say it happened on the street and 19 percent say it happened in school.





People coming forward with stories of sexual harassment and sexual assault will change the nation for the better, 52 percent of Americans say, while 9 percent say it will make the situation worse and 33 percent say it will not have much impact.





The media get the best grades for how it is handling sexual harassment and sexual assault in its industry, as Americans approve 48 - 42 percent. Approval for other groups are negative:





* 21 - 60 percent for how the Republican Party is handling sexual harassment and sexual assault in politics;





* 28 - 50 percent for the Democratic Party;





* 38 - 51 percent for the entertainment industry.





"The number is staggering: Almost half of American women say they've been sexually assaulted," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "And most Americans give most institutions failing grades for how they deal with sexual assault and sexual harassment within their ranks.





"But there is a ray of sunshine here. Most Americans believe that shining a light on the problem, rather than sweeping it under the rug, will help make us a better people," Malloy added.





If multiple people have accused an elected official of sexual harassment or sexual assault, 66 percent of Americans say that official should resign, while 24 percent say the official should not resign.





Twenty-five percent of women and 4 percent of men are concerned about being sexually assaulted in the future.





Americans disapprove 63 - 22 percent of the way President Donald Trump is handling sexual harassment and sexual assault. Republicans approve 55 - 24 percent, the only party, gender, age or racial group to approve.





It is hypocritical for President Trump to criticize men accused of sexual harassment, 73 percent of Americans say, while 16 percent say he has a right to criticize these men.





The U.S. Congress should investigate accusations of sexual harassment against President Trump, Americans say 70 - 25 percent.





"The message to President Donald Trump on calling out offenders: People who live in glass houses, even if it's the White House, shouldn't point fingers," Malloy said.





From November 29 - December 4, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,747 American adults nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points, including the design effect. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.





The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts nationwide public opinion surveys, and statewide polls in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa and Colorado as a public service and for research.
