That survey was interesting.

<<But fewer than one in 10 Americans say all Jews today are responsible for the death of Jesus, as some literal interpretations of the Bible suggest. >>

If you look at that question as a Martian might, it's obvious that today's Jews cannot be responsible for something that happened two thousand years ago even if the fault was, in fact, that of their ancestors. The answer to the question is so obvious as to be considered a fact, something to which there is a correct and incorrect answer. So, the ten percent or so that answered in the affirmative are either sub-humanly stupid or they are bigots. While my confidence in the intelligence of the American public is not great, it still seems that that question is a good proxy for the amount of anti-semitism we have amongst us.

The rest of the poll, the control questions, well, that's interesting in a different way.
