A new global democracy report has found that the United States is now at its lowest level of democratic performance in the 50 years the metric has been tracked, according to NPR News.
The report, cited by NPR, measures democratic performance across countries over an extended period, though the outlet's account did not specify the name of the organization behind the report or the exact methodology used to arrive at the finding.
NPR reported that the assessment marks a historic low point for the U.S. in the report's five-decade record, but did not detail the specific indicators or data points that led to this conclusion in the excerpt available.
Further details on the report's authors, scope, and the factors contributing to the decline were not immediately available.
