I won't attempt to read their minds, but republican attitudes are trending more and more anti-education.

Republicans: 37% say college has a positive impact
Democrats:73% say college has a positive impact

The share of Americans who believe colleges and universities have a positive impact on the country has dropped by 14 percentage points since 2020.

That's according to the latest results of an annual survey conducted by New America, a nonpartisan think tank. Since 2017, the organization has been collecting data on Americans' attitudes about the value of education after high school and how that education should be funded.
