What is the state of the American democracy? A survey was commissioned by the George W. Bush Institute, the Penn Biden Center, and Freedom House. About 1,400 adults were surveyed between April 28th and May 8th, and the margin of error was 2.6 points. It was called The Democracy Project.
The survey showed that a lot of Americans are worried about the state of the U.S. democracy. By an 18 point margin, Americans say the democracy is weak. By a 43 point margin, Americans say the democracy is getting weaker. By a 58 point margin, Americans say they are concerned about the condition of the democracy. By a 7 point margin, Americans are concerned about the U.S. becoming an authoritarian and undemocratic country. And by a 60 point margin, Americans say laws passed by the federal government reflect the wants of special interests over the needs of the people.
The survey also questioned people on how the democracy can be strengthened. The charts below show some of the ways people think the U.S. democracy can be improved and made stronger.
