Key Findings:

In February 2025, Boundless partnered with BSG, a global research and polling firm, to assess voter attitudes on actions needed to address antisemitism—both at the national level and on college campuses.


This study found that Americans across the political spectrum recognize antisemitism as a serious and growing threat and overwhelmingly support stronger measures to combat it.


-87% of voters see the rise in antisemitism as a threat to American safety


-72% of voters believe political and institutional leaders must do more to combat antisemitism


-A strong majority support new policies and legislation to counter antisemitism, including stricter law enforcement measures.


-Voters broadly agree that free speech should have limits when it incites violence, harassment, or threats against Jewish communities.


-4 in 5 voters are concerned about foreign funding of anti-Israel protests and support stronger oversight of external influence on U.S. institutions.


-More than two-thirds believe universities should be held accountable for failing to address antisemitic harassment on campus.


-Bipartisan consensus exists for stronger government action, including consequences for institutions that fail to uphold anti-discrimination laws.


The findings reveal strong bipartisan support for addressing Jew-hatred, with voters backing stronger government action, greater university accountability, and stricter enforcement of existing laws.

Methodology:

Boundless engaged BSG, a global research and polling firm, to conduct an online quantitative survey among 1,020 likely voters between Feb 14 and Feb 17, 2025. 


-The margin of error at the 95% confidence level is ±3.1 percentage points overall. 


-It is higher among subgroups (e.g., party affiliation or age group) and questions that were not asked of all survey respondents. 


-Due to rounding, displayed answer choices may not always add up to 100%. 


-Party affiliation was done by self-identification.
