Pew Research Center president Michael Dimock has spent years listening to what Americans think — and what they’re telling him right now is pretty dark. But buried in the data is something revealing: people are ready for bold democratic reform that the country hasn’t seen in decades. He explores how America’s founders didn’t create a finished system of government but rather launched an ongoing project that requires each generation to renew, adapt and reimagine democracy. The survey says Americans are ready to do the work.
