Investing in our children is a moral choice, not a political one.
That’s a sentiment most voters gravitated to about education, according to a survey the Hunt Institute conducted on the 2024 election. Contrast it to the daily tit-for-tat in our news feeds and the rapidity at which the Trump administration and its supporters are calling to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education.
It feels as if politics couldn’t be more partisan.
Yet, the Hunt Institute’s Across the Aisle survey of more than 1,300 likely 2024 voters uncovered high levels of agreement across the partisan spectrum—an emphasis placed on improving education over divisiveness. Respondents voluntarily self-selected in the survey online and reflected a mix of ideologies, education level, marital and parental status, and income, among other demographic factors. These likely voters were also invited to participate in focus groups to gather additional insight.
