My bad, I thought you were talking about healthcare which is explicit in the the part of my post you didn’t bold. Figured when you said “free shyt” that you we’re focused on Medicare for all and not an education initiative. I tend to assume that education is an investment and didn’t expect that to be your single focus as such. Specificity is definitely our friend here.
Now that we’ve gotten down to a more focused concept, I’d argue that the majority of his approval rating is related to other aspects of his messaging, mainly Medicare for all (which he released a list of potential taxes to pay for) and holding big banks accountable. But free college education for students is certainly playing a role in the love he gets from younger generations, though I do consider it free education for the students themselves. Since I perceive long term rewards, I don’t mind investing in that or on a similar note investing in infrastructure.
