New Report On Perceived Discrimination Against Various Groups

Yesterday the Pew Research Center released its 2019 report (full text) on the extent to which the American public perceives that there is discrimination against various discrete groups.  While surveying perceived discrimination against 9 different groups, the report headlines increasing discrimination against Jews:
Today, 64% of Americans say Jews face at least some discrimination – a 20-percentage-point increase from 2016; the share saying Jews face “a lot” of discrimination has nearly doubled, from 13% to 24%.
The report also finds that 82% believe that there is at least some discrimination against Muslims.  50% believe there is at least some discrimination against Evangelical Christians (a rise of 8% over 2016).
