Poll: Voters Doubt More Money Will Make Better Students

Rasmussen reports:
Very few voters know how much the United States spends on students each year, but they do know the money being spent isn’t doing much good.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just eight percent (8%) of Likely U.S. Voters know that the United States spends an average of $11,000 per student per year. This is down slightly from September and tied with last January’s low. Forty-four percent (44%) think the country spends less, including 11% who think America spends as little as $3,000 per student. Seven percent (7%) think it spends an average of $13,000 per year. Forty-two percent (42%) are not sure, the highest level of doubt to date.
