Are you worried about our democracy?
A major new bipartisan poll indicates you probably are, and you’re not alone.
According to the poll, published last week, eight in 10 Americans say they are either “very” or “somewhat” concerned about the condition of democracy here, and a full half think the United States is in “real danger of becoming a nondemocratic, authoritarian country.”
A majority of Americans, 55 percent, see democracy as “weak,” and 68 percent believe it is “getting weaker.”
