what percent of americans are jewish

According to the Pew Research Center, the Jewish population in the United States is estimated to be around 2.4% of the total U.S. population, or approximately 7.5 million people. This includes both Jews by religion and Jews of no religion, as well as people of Jewish background. However, if Jewish refers only to people whose religion is Jewish, then the survey indicates that the Jewish population currently stands at about 1.7% of the total U.S. adult population, or 4.2 million people. It is important to note that different surveys and methodologies may produce slightly different estimates of the Jewish population in the United States.
