Thirty-five percent of Americans currently say that Jews face “a lot of discrimination” in the United States today, a new HuffPost/YouGov survey finds, up 10 points from a survey taken last November. Meanwhile, a plurality of those polled, 41 percent, say there is not a lot of discrimination against Jewish people, and about one-quarter say they are unsure. Nearly three-quarters of Americans say they view Jews favorably, with just 9 percent reporting an unfavorable opinion. While 16 percent of Americans say they personally know someone who holds anti-Semitic views, 67 percent say they don’t know anyone with those views. Trump voters are about as likely to hold favorable views of Jewish people as people who voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the poll.
