Nearly 80% of college faculty support the Democratic presidential ticket in the upcoming election, according to an Inside Higher Ed/Hanover Research survey released Monday.
Only 8% of faculty surveyed expressed support for former president Donald Trump, while 78% expressed support for Vice President Kamala Harris, the poll shows. More than half of respondents said their politics are “somewhat” or “much” further left than the students on their campus.
Half of those polled said they planned on donating to a campaign, with 67% of Democrats and 16% of Republicans stating this intention. Nearly all those polled said they planned on voting in the November presidential election.
