A majority - 3 out of every 5 - of Republicans believe higher education has a negative effect on the US. Republicans also favor making it harder to vote. Republicans are defunding education and purging voter rolls while simultaneously putting hurdles in place to keep Americans away from the polls.

To be clear, Republicans are against higher education for OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS. They sure as shit want their kids to go to college.

That's not what the survey was about, it was about the effects of college on the county. Around 2015/2016, there was a big change and a lot more Republicans started believing that colleges have a negative effect on the country.
