Abstract	The 46th Annual PDK/Gallup Poll of the Public's Attitudes toward the Public Schools reveals that Americans say they know a lot more this year about the Common Core State Standards than they indicated a year ago, and they like it a lot less. Americans also say local school boards should have the greatest influence in deciding what is taught in the public schools. Americans support public charter schools, particularly when they're described as schools that can operate independently and free of regulations. Americans don't believe standardized tests help teachers know what to teach. Americans continue to assign higher grades to their local schools but far lower grades to the nation's schools in general. Americans gave the President significantly lower grades on his performance in support of public schools. [For Part II, see EJ1042085.] (As Provided).
