“Nearly half of all voters are skeptical that the American experiment in self-governance is working, with 45% believing that the nation’s democracy does not do a good job representing ordinary people,” according to a new New York Times/Siena College poll.
“Three-quarters of voters in the United States say democracy is under threat, though their perception of the forces imperiling it vary widely based on partisan leanings. And a majority of voters believe that the country is plagued by corruption, with 62% saying that the government is mostly working to benefit itself and elites rather than the common good.”
