Americans have watched a public reckoning unfold since 2017 as the #MeToo movement exposed the prevalence of sexual assault and harassment in people’s lives. But has the movement changed their own lives in meaningful ways?  A new poll suggests that it has. Roughly half of Americans say the recent attention to the issue has made them more likely to speak out if they were a victim of sexual misconduct. And about 6 in 10 say they are more willing to speak out if they were to witness it happening. That’s according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
