摘要 | Key Points Although the presidential candidates have occasionally mentioned education on the campaign trail, it has clearly not been at the forefront of this election. In national polls, education consistently ranks in the top third or top half of public concerns. This is consistent with the past three presidential elections. The 2016 election, while unusual in many respects, remains typical in its discussion of education. Education is often seen as a local concern, and although significant, it is not a top-tier issue, which will inevitably color how a new administration proceeds. Read the full PDF. Introduction With Labor Day in the rearview mirror and November just around the corner, the 2016 campaigns are in full swing. Even if you have been watching closely, though, the odds are that you have not seen a lot of attention devoted to education. The Harvard Political Review has observed that “the current slate of candidates, on both sides of the aisle, have ignored a plethora of worthy discussions” and that “the most glaring example is . . . education policy.”1 The Huffington Post succinctly headlined one story “Why Education Isn’t a 2016 Campaign Issue.”2 Although the presidential candidates have sometimes mentioned education on the campaign trail, with Hillary Clinton talking free college and pre-K and Donald Trump embracing school choice and slamming the Common Core, education has clearly not been at the forefront of the debate. But what should we make of that? Education is rarely a top-line topic in national elections, but issues such as college costs and the Common Core have drawn substantial attention in recent years. Does the lack of attention mean that voters are not interested in education? How does education rank relative to other major issues? And how does public interest in education this year stack up to that of recent presidential election years? Read the full report. Notes |
