"Those results in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll show the vast extent to which women encounter inappropriate sexual conduct from men across American society — marking the current scandal involving the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein as merely the latest public eruption of a far broader and deeper problem," said a report accompanying the poll results.

The survey, conducted Oct. 12-15, surveyed 1,010 people. Various questions were asked of just women respondents.
