Apropos 'Public Verdict on Democracy: 2008-2013' by Pildat-Gallup, there is a clear split between the rural and the urban members of the jury. Compared to their rural counterparts, the urban members were much more critical of the process of democracy during the past five years. While -41% of the urban members gave an overall negative rating to the process of democracy during the past five years, the verdict of rural members of the jury was considerably less critical as -12% of them gave an overall negative rating. This difference shows up even more sharply in individual verdicts given on the 10 dimensions of democratic process.
It is also interesting to note that older generation was notably more critical about any progress in the process of democracy during the past five years. While the net verdict among jury members under the age of 30 was 19%; the figure was somewhat higher among the older members (over 50 years of age), among whom it was -24%.
