ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Dec. 12 -- The University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy issued the following news:
Michigan local leaders' assessments of democracy at the national level have improved marginally for two years in a row after a sharp decline in 2021, largely due to fewer local officials rating American democracy as poorly functioning. Similarly, there have been marginal improvements in assessments of how democracy is functioning in the state of Michigan overall.
