The poll found that 81 percent of students said they had an unfavorable impression of Trump, compared to just 19 percent who said they had a favorable impression of the president.

The survey also found that most students, about 7 in 10, said they are “absolutely certain” they will vote in the upcoming elections, with female students expressing greater certainty than their male counterparts by a margin of 10 points, according to the foundation.

Those respondents that identified as Democrats were more likely to say they are absolutely certain they will vote, at 81 percent, with 74 percent of Republicans saying the same, based on the poll.

The article points out that the college students who say they'll vote for Biden don't all have a favorable opinion of him. That's probably due to his not promising free college for all and forgiveness of student loan debt. One bad result of making unrealistic promises to college students is that it can easily lead to disappointment if the candidate making those promises doesn't get the nomination.

But it's encouraging that 70% of college students are still planning to vote for Biden.
