Respondents indicated they oppose prohibition of abortions, oppose government sponsorship of religious symbols on government property, oppose prayer in public schools and support choice within public school districts. The overwhelming number of respondents felt there was "very little" or "some" anti-Semitism, a finding that has been consistent in recent years.
