Results of a survey on the attitude of the average person in England towards Jews were made public here today. The survey, conducted along the lines of the Gallup poll, was carried out in an urban area of Liverpool, with almost no Jews in the population, and in two London districts — Whitechapel and Golders Green — both of which have large Jewish populations.
The average figures for both London and Liverpool reveal that of a hundred people asked to state their feelings about Jews, 12 are definitely anti-Jewish, ten are slightly anti-Jewish, 14 are pro-Jewish, 54 “Have nothing against” Jews, and ten “do not know.”
