AJC Report Finds Antisemitism in U.S. Remains Elevated, With 1 in 3 Jews Targeted in 2025

A companion survey points to a significant awareness gap separating Jewish experiences from the broader public.

Overview

  • The AJC’s 2025 survey of 1,222 Jewish adults found that 33% were targeted by an antisemitic incident.
  • Fifty-five percent said they altered behavior to avoid being identifiable as Jewish, a level holding steady from 2024 after sharp rises in earlier years.
  • Online hostility remained widespread, with 73% encountering antisemitism and 86% saying it has increased since Oct. 7.
  • A parallel SSRS poll of 1,033 U.S. adults found only 45% reported personally seeing or hearing any antisemitic incident in the past year.
  • Two-thirds of Jewish respondents said Jews are less secure than a year ago, citing high-profile 2025 attacks, and roughly two-thirds disapproved of President Donald Trump’s response with views split by party.
