For their study, Gallup asked a random sample of 1,017 adults living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia how confident they were in U.S. colleges and universities and why they held the positions they did. And 67% of Republicans and 43% of Democrats had low confidence in colleges.

The report found that Republicans’ low confidence in colleges was often due to politics, agenda and courses taught.

“Republicans with low levels of confidence in colleges are most likely to cite their belief that colleges and universities are too liberal and political, that colleges don’t allow students to think for themselves and are pushing their own agenda, or that students are not taught the right material or are poorly educated,” the study states. “In short, Republicans with low confidence tend to see the world of higher education through distinctly political eyes.”

Democrats who had low confidence in U.S. colleges were more likely to refer to practical aspects of higher education to explain their position, like college costs being too expensive, colleges being mismanaged, or that college students struggling to find jobs.
