Forty-three percent of respondents told a joint NPR-Ipsos poll that the movement had gone “too far.”

The survey did not define “too far,” but NPR reports that respondents cited worries about a rush to judgment, unproven accusations that could destroy lives, and a bandwagon effect that could encourage people to overstate claims of sexual misconduct.
Most strikingly, the poll showed a sharp divide among party.
Seventy-five percent of Republicans said the movement had gone too far, while only 21 percent of Democrats agreed.
