Almost half of the world’s population resides in countries that held or will hold executive or legislative elections in 2024. This prompts a closer look at how people feel about the way democracy is working in their respective nations.
This graphic shows the percentage of the population that is satisfied or dissatisfied with democracy in 26 countries. The data comes from the Pew Research Center.
In 2024, the Pew Research Center conducted over 900 interviews in each country via telephone or face-to-face.
Respondents were asked, “How satisfied are you with the way democracy is working in [survey country] – very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, not too satisfied, or not at all satisfied?” Those who did not answer are excluded. Percentages may not total 100% due to rounding.
We cannot deny that democracy is present in the world, but what about dictatorships disguised as democracy: Venezuela, Nicaragua, just to name a few.
