I was really confused by that sentence. I do think that antisemitism is substantially on the rise, but 85 percent seemed insanely high.
So I searched for the report they were talking about, since the article doesn't bother to link it. I'm guessing this is it, if you'd like it too. The statement they asked about that got the top "mostly/somewhat true" is the confusing bit for me:
"Jews stick together more than other Americans."
It got a 70 percent mostly/somewhat true response, but it just doesn't seem antisemitic to me. Is the Jewish community having a community a bad thing? Is that really an anti-Jewish trope? Is it the "stick together" part? Maybe just the generalizing about Jewish people in general? I'm lost there.
Like...the next one down ("Jews in business go out of their way to hire other Jews.") is super clearly an anti-Jewish trope, along with all the others on the list, and the fact that it got 53 percent "mostly/somewhat true" is insane, but I don't understand what makes the first one a negative thing.
What's scarier to me is the 20 percent that believe six or more of the presented tropes. 20 percent of the country is (at least) closet-Nazi. Five people at the bus stop? One's statistically a Nazi. Yikes.
Also Morrowind. The systems of that game blew my young mind, and I was far too dumb to notice most of the jank.
