Republicans are the Least Satisfied With U.S. Democracy 👎

What We’re Showing

The results of a Gallup survey of how major political groups feel towards American democracy. This is a survey that has been run sporadically over the last 40 years, so the date intervals are atypical. It is, however, a unique look at how Americans generally feel about democracy over a long period of time.

Key Takeaways

• Compared to the 1990s, satisfaction with U.S. democracy is generally lower across all major groups.
• All three party groups are slightly less satisfied than they were in 2021.
• Democrats hit their low point in 1992 in what has been referred to as the 'year of the angry voter'. Republicans are currently at their low point.
