The Danish Alliance of Democracies and the German polling company Laatana, posed three questions to 53,000 people from 53 nations, primarily in April. First, was their country democratic? Overall, 83% of citizens felt that their country was democratic, but in the United States, only 49%. Next, on the question as to whether there was “not enough democracy” in their country, Latin America had the highest score of 58%, followed by Europe, 41%, and the lowest in Asia with 29 percent. Finally, an average of 49% of people say that their government primarily serves the interest of a privileged minority; and this sentiment is most prevalent in the Latin American countries surveyed (66%), the U.S. (63%) and Europe (51%). It was the least prevalent in Asian countries (33%), with China at 7%. A privileged minority in the West demanded a recount.
