2007 Survey of American Attitudes Towards Jews in America

Press release: “A nationwide survey released [November 1, 2007] by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) shows the number of Americans who hold anti-Semitic attitudes remains constant from its 2005 findings, demonstrating once again that “anti-Semitic beliefs endure in America.” The 2007 Survey of American Attitudes Towards Jews in America, a national telephone survey of 2,000 American adults conducted October 6 through October 19, found that 15% of Americans – or nearly 35 million adults – hold views about Jews that are “unquestionably anti-Semitic,” compared to 14% in 2005. Previous ADL surveys over the last decade had indicated that anti-Semitism was in decline (graph). Seven years ago, in 1998, the number of Americans with hardcore anti-Semitic beliefs had dropped to 12% from 20% in 1992. The survey was released at the annual meeting of the League’s National Commission.”
