WASHINGTON - Forty percent of US Republicans view presidential candidate Herman Cain less favorably after watching a video in which a woman accuses him of groping her in a car, according to Reuters/Ipsos poll results released on Tuesday.
Thirty-nine percent said they believe that the assertions by Sharon Bialek, which Cain has flatly denied, are true.

The findings are from an online survey of 462 Republican registered voters on Nov. 7 and 8. Survey respondents were shown a video of Bialek making her allegations.
Cain, a former pizza company executive, has led many opinion polls in the race to become the Republican nominee to face President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in next year's election.
