By counting reported incidents of anti-Semitism.WorKid wrote:Seriously though how can you poll for how much antisemitism there is?
In August 2017 YouGov asked 1614 adults from across the political spectrum whether 5 different stereotypical anti-Semitic tropes about Jewish people were either ‘Definitely true’ ‘Probably true’, Definitely not true’ or ‘Probably not true’.
And, when comparing the responses to those given by 3411 respondents to almost identical questions in 2015, the results were profound.
Analysis of both surveys shows that anti-Semitic views held by Labour voters had declined amongst every single statement from 2015 until 2017.
In 2015, 22% of Labour voters agreed with the statement that ‘Jews chase money more than other people’, whilst in 2017 the number of Labour voters agreeing with the statement had declined to 14%.
These results compare with 31% of Conservative voters who agreed with the statement that ‘Jews chase money more than other people’ in 2015, whilst in 2017 this had declined slightly to 27% who still agreed with the statement.

There's been more coverage about it, people are more aware of saying something they shouldn't, their views become more nuanced. You might disagree with the statement 'Jews secretly run the world' or something but still think George Soros and the Rothschilds secretly run the world because you read it on twitter.
Edit: Not trying to dismiss the results or anything. Don't want to get into the Corbyn v Jews mess again.
