65% of registered voters now say a student with $100,000 should invest it and go straight to work, reversing the 65% who favored college tuition in 2006.
73% say a degree is not worth getting at any cost, and more than 6 in 10 view college as less important to success than a generation ago.
72% still express confidence universities provide a high-quality education, but only 45% believe colleges put students ahead of profits—the only tested measure below a majority.
Republicans are the most skeptical, with just 39% saying universities prioritize students over profits, versus 50% of Democrats and independents in the May 15-18 poll of 1,002 voters.
