In May 2022, Americans were asked for their opinions on making public colleges and universities tuition-free. Nearly half of Democrats indicated their support for tuition-free college. A third of Republicans indicated that they strongly oppose tuition-free higher education. While most Independents indicated they would strongly support the measure, there was a fairly even split across all viewpoints.
