In order to assess explicit prejudice toward Jews, we directly asked respondents “How much to blame were the Jews for the financial crisis?” with responses falling under five categories: a great deal, a lot, a moderate amount, a little, not at all. Among non-Jewish respondents, a strikingly high 24.6 percent of Americans blamed “the Jews” a moderate amount or more, and 38.4 percent attributed at least some level of blame to the group.
Interestingly, Democrats were especially prone to blaming Jews: while 32 percent of Democrats accorded at least moderate blame, only 18.4 percent of Republicans did so (a statistically significant difference).
quite a few on the right hate muslims with a passion and without rhyme or reason, more so than they hate on jews.The fascist-right loves to equal disagreeing with the current Israeli government to hating all Jews, something which they don't do for any other religious group or race. I hate Al Qaida and IS and their tens of thousands of supporters worldwide, but not the rest of the Muslims. I hate Trump and his tens of millions of supporters, but not the rest of the US. Basically I hate all fascists, but not humans.

Poll question is unanswerable because it is a simplistic bifurcation. Needs more than 2 options.
Not many scientific polls compare dems to reps on the question of anti-semitism. There's been a couple IIRC. I was able to find this one which was taken in 2009 right after the financial crisis:

Yep. But I will say no more. I might be accused of being an anti-Semite.My stance on that part of the world...
Kissing Bibi's ass is not Middle East policy.
We all know who they are.So now we have 2 people voting yes.
Are you brave enough to speak up?
I live on the west cost and have the exact same opinion, I don't get jew hate.I honestly just don't even understand anti-semitism in the slightest.
Maybe there just isn't much for Jews in the south for me to even know? Either way, I consider most Jews to be civilized and damn decent humans. I guess some people get butt-hurt that Jews are (I guess stereo-typically) pretty good with money?
EDIT: To answer the poll question - certainly no.
I think the hatred of jews in NYC is because of the massive measles outbreak lately!

The poll I linked above shows ~25% of Americans blaming "the Jews" for the financial crisis in 2009.
Anti-semitism is very much alive in the US whether you see it where you live or not.
No no - don't misunderstand my post. I'm not saying that Anti-semitism doesn't exist or is rare or anything.
I'm saying I have no fucking clue WHAT their reasoning is - or argument is as far as why they don't like Jews. The most I ever see is related to "Jews have all the money and control all the media" or some shit like that - which isn't so much Anti-semitism but just plain conspiracy theory morons.
