"The number of "allies" - people who are well informed of antisemitism and ready to stand up against it - has fallen from 15% in 2023 to 9% in 2025, the survey found. The number of Americans categorized as "haters" - people who are outspoken with prejudice against Jews and other groups - has grown from 6% in 2023 to 10% in 2025. Nearly half of Americans think Jews can "handle antisemitism on their own," up sharply in two years."
"About 27% of those polled believe Jews "cause problems in the world," up from 19% in 2023, according to the survey. 18% believe Jews are a threat to American unity (up from 12% in 2023). 38% of Americans believe there is nothing they can do to counteract prejudice against Jewish people (up from 21% in 2023). Belief in classic tropes - like Jews being "penny pinchers," controlling media or being more loyal to Israel than the U.S. - remains elevated above 2023 levels."
Around three in five U.S. adults view antisemitism as a minor problem or not a problem at all. The share of people identified as allies dropped from 15% in 2023 to 9% in 2025, while those labeled haters rose from 6% to 10%. Nearly half of Americans believe Jewish people can handle antisemitism on their own. Belief that Jews cause global problems rose to 27%, and 18% see Jews as a threat to American unity. Forty percent-plus express hopelessness about countering prejudice, and classic antisemitic tropes remain elevated above 2023 levels.
