'Most women in US experience discrimination'
A majority of women in the United States have personally experienced discrimination based on their gender, according to a new poll.
The results from an NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll show that 51 percent of American females face gender-based discrimination in society.
Many of those polled also said the society has not yet reached the point where women and men have equal opportunities for achievement.
The percentage of Democratic women who said they have experienced discrimination on the basis of their race was 23 points higher than the percentage of Republican women who said so - 62 percent to 39 percent.
Among Independent women, 46 percent said they have personally experienced gender-based discrimination.
The issue of unfair treatment of women and gender-based discrimination has been at the forefront of the 2016 US presidential campaign.
During a speech on April 26, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said the only thing Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has going for her in the presidential race is the "woman's card" and that women do not actually like the female candidate.
On Wednesday, Trump repeated his gender-themed attack on Clinton, taking further aim at the likely Democratic nominee and claiming his original remarks were not sexist in nature.
"It's not sexist. It's true. It's just a very, very true statement. If she were a man, she'd get five percent," Trump said during a telephone interview with ABC's "Good Morning America." "She's a bad candidate. She's a flawed candidate."
"She's not going to do very well in the election, and I look forward to showing that," he added.
A USA Today-Suffolk University poll released earlier this week showed that 66 percent of likely female voters had an unfavorable view of Trump, compared with 48 percent who had an unfavorable view of Clinton.
