Mallory Newall, research director at Ipsos Public Affairs, said on Monday that a majority of Americans believe sexual harassment victims deserve the benefit of the doubt, amid the recent allegations against President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

"Ipsos and NPR partnered on a poll earlier this year about sexual harassment in light of the #MeToo movement, and one of the most striking findings from that poll was that eight-in-ten Americans say that victims of harassment should be given the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise," Newall told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."

The poll, which was published late last year, found that 79 percent of Americans believe that those who report they are sexual harassment victims should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Seventy-seven percent of respondents said that people accused of sexual harassment should be given the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, according to the survey.
