Affordability concerns are top of mind for registered voters ahead of this year’s midterm elections, and that extends to education costs, according to a new survey from Jobs for the Future, a nonprofit focused on the intersection of education and the workforce. Just 43 percent of the 2,000 registered voters surveyed said they had enough money to enroll in a college degree program, and 66 percent said they would be more likely to support a candidate who focused on making education and training more affordable, according to the results released today and shared exclusively with Inside Higher Ed.
