Core courses because they're general, introductory courses most of the time.

depending on how knowledgeable you are in a subject, the core courses can be very easy to get an A in. However, the courses for a specific major are designed for those looking to go into various fields in those subjects after school is done, so they are expected to know what they are talking about in those classes. they are of course going to be mor difficult because they are much more specific to a topic and go much more in detail, but if you are majoring in that subject you should logically be able to do fine.

I get much better grades in major specific classes, than in my general education classes. I'm an engineering major and I like studying and doing the work in my engineering classes. The material comes easy to me. However when it comes to humanities classes I suffer. I just can't bring myself to read a couple hours every day just so I can write a paper that maybe 5 out of 300 will get A's on.

I received better grades in every English class than in the core courses. I did fairly well in my foreign language classes also, but the performance was most likely because I selected them even though they were not required for graduation.
People tend to do better in their areas of interest, regardless of the class, because they pay more attention, and subsequently get better grades.
Hope this helps!

As a professor I disagree. By the time students get to my specialized courses they are anxious to learn. They want to take the classes, and realize I will be able to give a future employers a references. They know they need these courses to earn a living. It is well known. Thats why employers and grad schools focus on the GPA in the major as opposed to the overall GPA.
