Ilya Somin points us to poll results that suggest that 18.4 percent of Republicans and 32 percent of Democrats blame "the Jews" for the financial crisis.
It goes without saying that if the poll results are reliable, they are disgraceful for the Democratic Party, the party of "tolerance." (I shudder to think what the result would have been had they been asked about how much they blamed "the Negro.") But I guess I should also note that this evidence is a clear rebuff to my argument a few years back, contra Pejman Yousefzadeh, and in defense of Noam Chomsky, that there is a meaningful "a sense in which it is perfectly reasonable to say that anti-Semitism 'scarcely exists anymore.'" Not on these data there isn't.
UPDATE: The authors of the survey research have an interesting response to some of the reactions to their piece, hosted by John Holbo at Crooked Timber.
