A survey released Thursday by the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate found rising antisemitic attitudes among Americans, alongside growing rejection of the connection between Holocaust denial and antisemitism.
The poll of 7,053 U.S. Adults, conducted from March 4 to April 3, showed that 32% of respondents said questioning the Holocaust is not antisemitic, up from 26% in August 2025. The survey has a margin of sampling error of ±0.92 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
Agreement with all 10 antisemitic tropes tracked in the survey - including statements that Jews control Hollywood and the media or are more loyal to Israel than the United States - increased since summer 2025, with individual rises ranging from 12% to 38%.
Overall, 30% of respondents expressed antisemitic attitudes, up from 24% in August 2025 and the highest level since the survey began in June 2023.
Younger Americans showed higher agreement with the statement that Jews are a threat to societal unity. Nearly 29% of those ages 18 to 29 and 29% of those ages 30 to 44 agreed, compared with 19% of those ages 45 to 60 and 13% of those 61 and older.
"The tropes that once required a fringe platform to spread are now circulating more widely and can reach people faster," Said Steven Fransblow, chief data and technology officer for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate. "This is a significant challenge we face."
The survey also found concern about antisemitism increased to 46% from 42%, with 62% saying they would be concerned about harassment of Jewish people or businesses in their community.
Yet substantial numbers of Americans reported unfamiliarity with recent antisemitic incidents. Fifty-three percent were unaware of the December mass shooting at a Chanukah celebration in Sydney, Australia, while 66% did not know about a January arson attack on a synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi.
"Americans are not indifferent - they would be alarmed if hate came to their street," Said Adam Katz, president of the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate. "But too many do not believe it is happening, do not see it as their fight and do not feel empowered to do anything about it."
