Episode Details

New research challenges the notion that college turns people liberal and exacerbates political divides. Instead, it suggests that the growing gap in political views is more due to how people identify themselves politically, rather than shifts in core beliefs. Policy views among graduates have remained consistent compared to non-graduates for decades. The shift towards liberal identification among graduates in the past ten to fifteen years is a recent phenomenon. Voting patterns are more influenced by economic situations and life stages than education. This research emphasizes the evolution of party bases over time and encourages a more nuanced understanding of the role of higher education in political polarization.
