Yes and No.
Surface gravity is affected by density, as your distance from the object is related to the radius of the object itself (because you're measuring it on the surface). That radius, and the mass involved are related to the strenght of gravity.
Absolute gravitational force however, is not related to density, as you are not necessarily standing on the object, but could be orbiting it.
A real life example: Earth has an average density of~5.5g/cm^3. That's 5.5x as dense as water. Saturn, has a mass 95x greater than earths, but a density of ~0.7gm/cm^3.
At any given distance from either object, Saturn's gravity is stronger. however, because Saturn is so much wider than earth, you can get closer to the center of the earth, and feel, at the surface, a higher gravity.
If you stand on the surface of the earth, you experience 1g (9.8m/s^2) of gravitational force.
If you stand on the surface of Saturn (if you could) you would feel 0.92g (~8.6m/s^2) of gravitational force.
Saturn's surface gravity is less, despite being heavier, because it's density is so much lower. The big difference, of course, is how far from Saturn's core you are.
Saturn is 60,000km across, while earth is a mere 6,000 or so.
If you were to test earth's gravity not at it's surface (where the force is 1g) but at 60,000km away, you measure a force of 0.01g...far less than saturns at that same distance (0.92g). So Saturn's absolute force, is far greater.

What causes earths dense core?
Because the gravity is pushing the core together more so its more dense.
What minerals have a specific gravity of less than 1?
Yes. That's what specific gravity is all about - the comparison of the density of a material to that of an equal volume of water. If a material or substance has a specific gravity equal to that of water, its specific gravity (sometimes called "spee gee" by the chemists) is 1. If it is more dense, say twice as dense as water, its spee gee will be 2. If the spee gee of a substance, in this case a mineral, is less than 1, it is less dense than water and will float. There may be a few exceptions for porous materials, but this is the rule.

Is sulfur dioxide more dense then air?
The specific gravity of sulfur dioxide is 2.24 so it is more than twice as dense as air.
Why will a dense area of rock under the surface increase the local strength of gravity?
density is directly proportional to the mass density = mass / volume more density, then more mass and more mass, more gravity, as gravity force = mass x gravity acceleration.
Does moon europa have gravity?
Yes. Everything has gravity. Larger and denser objects have more gravity than smaller objects that are less dense.
Why are cooler particuls pulled down by gravity?
cooler particles are slower moving thus more dense. the more dense the material the further it will sink
Does more dense or less dense objects settle faster?
More dense objects settle faster than less dense objects. This is because denser objects have more mass and therefore experience a greater force of gravity pulling them downward, causing them to settle more quickly than less dense objects.
How many 20kg bags equal 0.75 cubic meter?
It is not possible to answer the question without knowing the density (specific gravity) of the mayerial. The more dense the substance, the fewer bags you will need.
Why do less dense compounds make up Earth's crust while the denest compounds make up the core?
Gravity ! The closer you are to the core - the higher the gravitational forces. High gravity attracts dense objects more than less dense ones.
What has the highest specific gravity Styrofoam Water halite gold?
Gold has the highest specific gravity out of the options given, as it is a dense metal. Styrofoam has a low specific gravity because it is lightweight and mostly made up of air. Water has a specific gravity of 1, while halite (rock salt) is more dense than water but less dense than gold.
Is Venus' gravity more or less than earth?
Venus is slightly smaller and less dense than the Earth is, so it has lower surface gravity.
