CNN data analyst Harry Enten revealed some news that is going to shake Democrats.
During an appearance on the news network, he said that recent polling shows “most Americans” agree with President Donald Trump that America’s colleges and Universities have a liberal bias.
“Yeah, I think going into this, I think a lot of Americans thought that higher ed needed a nice kick in the rear end. What am I talking about here? Well, why don’t we take a look at high confidence in higher education? You go back a decade ago, 57% of Americans had high confidence in higher education,” the data analyst said.
“Look at where we are now. That number has plummeted, plummeted as of last year down to 36%. We’re talking about a 36-point drop among Republicans specifically. Get this: 68% of American said that higher education was on the wrong track. So it’s a question of whether or not people agree with Trump’s tactics, but they definitely agree with him on the idea that there is a problem with higher ed overall,” he said.
“One thing you’ve heard from President Trump and many Republican allies for quite some time is accusing colleges and universities across the country of not being a friendly place for conservatives, if you will. How did the American public feel?” anchor Kate Bolduan said.
“Yeah. So, you know, do colleges have a liberal bias? I think that’s really the question here. And what we see in polling after polling after polling is that the plurality say, yes, overall, look at that. Forty five percent of Americans overall agree with the idea that colleges have a liberal bias. Just 24% disagree with that idea,” Enten said.
WATCH:
“Look among Republicans, hello! Sixty-seven percent of Republicans agree that colleges have a little bias. This is why Donald Trump is so emphatic and so wanting to take on this fight, because he knows that Republicans hate universities, hate the administrations, believe they have a liberal bias, and in fact the plurality of Americans overall agree with the idea, agree with Donald Trump, that colleges are in fact a place where bias reigns,” he said.
