A mere 9% of Americans believe that U.S. democracy is working "extremely" or "very well," according to a new poll released Wednesday from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

  • 37% of U.S. adults surveyed said U.S. democracy functioned "somewhat well," 52% said they believed the country's democracy was working "not at all" or "not too well."
  • Republicans were more likely than Democrats to say U.S. democracy is not working well.
  • Since the same poll was conducted in 2020, the number of Democrats expressing confidence in democracy has increased, while the number of Republicans saying so has decreased.
