The gap between how Republicans and Democrats view American education systems has grown even wider in recent years, a new study published Monday by the Pew Research Center reveals.
While 72% of Democrats believe that colleges and universities have a positive impact on the country, only 36% of Republicans feel the same way. These numbers stand in contrast to the general population, of which 55% still views university positively.
Democratic views on education have remained stable over recent years, but Republican support for college has dropped by nearly 45% since 2015. The two parties remain just as starkly divided on many other issues, including greater Republican support of banks and religious institutions and more Democratic support for labor unions.
The biggest difference remains in how members of the two parties view the media, with only 10% of Republicans (compared to 44% of Democrats) saying it has a positive influence on the country.
