One half of young Americans in new poll say democracy in US is 'in trouble' or has 'failed'

A national poll of people ages 18 to 29 found that most young Americans said that they believed the county’s democracy is either “in trouble” or has "failed."
Specifically, 52 percent of respondents said that they held these beliefs, including 39 percent who said that the U.S. is a “democracy in trouble” and 13 percent who said that the country is a “failed democracy,” the poll from the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School released on Wednesday found.
Twenty-seven percent of the respondents said that they viewed the country as “somewhat functioning democracy,” and just 7 percent said that the U.S. is a "healthy democracy."
When considering the results along party lines, more Republicans viewed the state of democracy in the country as in trouble or failed than did Democrats or unaffiliated young people, the survey found.

A total of 70 percent of Republicans said that they held this view, including 47 percent who said that the U.S. democracy is in trouble and 23 percent who said that it has failed. Among Democrats, 45 percent said that the country's democracy is in trouble or has failed, and 51 percent of independent and unaffiliated young people had the same responses.
In terms of President Biden's approval rating among young people, 46 percent of young Americans who took part in the survey said that they viewed him favorably, marking a 13-point drop since a poll published in April from the same organization. Forty-four percent said that they viewed him unfavorably in the new survey.
The latest survey was conducted Oct. 26-Nov. 8 and included 2,109 18- to 29-year-olds. The margin of error for the poll was 3 percentage points.

That is absolutely correct. US version of democracy and freedom is something not to be proud and brag about.

Yesterday another round of mass shooting by US kids. This is not the freedom law abiding and hardworking US citizen wants. They rather live in communist China which protects their live and property with basic law.

China take active action of crime prevention with surveillance camera, outlaw guns, strict law to punish law breaker and criminal. Most women in China can travel alone in late night.

Nothing is more true than how exactly people living in that country feel about it.

Nothing new, but if the economy recovers and people get “some breathing room” on their finances (with help on health care, child care, and a general lower cost of living through economic growth) these kinds of feelings change.

your data does not support your thesis. Since 2008 satisfaction has been rock bottom despite 2010-2019 being called the "greatest economic expansion in the history of the US".

This is now the longest US economic expansion in history

The ongoing U.S. economic expansion has entered its 121st month, marking the longest run on record going back to 1854.

Liberals and the left hate the right wing more than they hate anything ever. This is a sure fire way to civil war and rioting down the line.

My thesis was two part; economic recovery and some breathing space; lower COL.

that's not possible. if economy grows then Fed raises interest rates. because of most youth having massive student loans, that automatically cools consumption of a huge chunk of the population. In addition, economic growth brings inflation and housing appreciation, which puts more consumption further out of reach.

Lower COL through subsidize Health and Child care (tax credits) and other such ways to help people better able to afford to get by day to day with some room left in their finances to enjoy themselves a little.

Guess what, this failed democracy called other failed democracies to a summit next week to celebrate the idea of democracy.

Will never happen. This is a social darwinism society where being poor has been rendered effectively illegal in many places. Subsidies to individuals for consumption will be seen as handouts and violently opposed by the poor who think they're rich.

What I find shocking is that there are 48% brainwashed drones that think everything is good.
