From universities to churches, Republicans and Democrats differ in views of major institutions - ABIGAIL GEIGER, Pew Research

At a time of growing partisan polarization, Republicans and Democrats are deeply divided in their views of many issues and the opposing party. These differences extend to their opinions about the impact of many of the nation’s institutions, according to a Pew Research Center survey, and when it comes to the news media, this partisan gap is growing wider. Overall, only two of the six institutions included in the survey – churches and religious institutions (57%) and colleges and universities (57%) – are viewed positively by majorities of the public. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/09/26/from-universities-to-churches-republicans-and-democrats-differ-in-views-of-major-institutions/
