An MSN poll found Republicans and Democrats have a lot of the same beliefs about college.

- But on the issue of whether college is worth the cost, there was a stark divide.

- 43% of Democrats believe college is worth it, compared with 28% of Republicans.

American politics have grown more polarized than ever before.

So it might come as a surprise that Republicans and Democrats actually agree on a lot when it comes to higher education — so long as it's not about the more philosophical issues of whether it's worth the cost.

A poll from Business Insider's partner, MSN, showed that families across the political spectrum had similar beliefs when it came to issues like their plans to pay for college and whether they've already started saving. Republican and Democrat respondents have differences no larger than the single digits. 

But when asked if they believe a college education is worth the cost, respondents split across political lines. Forty-three percent of Democrats responded yes and 44% responded no, compared with 28% of Republicans responding yes, and 62% no.

When asked whether tuition at public colleges and universities should be free, the results were even starker. Seventy-four percent of Democrats answered yes and 19% answered no, compared to 31% of Republicans responding yes, and 62% no.
