If you're going to complain about a lack of data (which is wholly reasonable!) then you should probably refrain from linking an alternative view which also fails to present any data. The best data I could quickly find shows[0] a noticeable but not gigantic skew towards Democrats/Biden among college-educated voters in 2020, and a report from Pew[1] with finer grained categories shows a nearly 2:1 ratio of (registered) Democrats:Republicans among voters with postgraduate educations in 2019.
