Public perception of government significantly impacts democracy as it influences trust and legitimacy in political institutions. High levels of public trust can lead to increased civic engagement, while widespread skepticism may result in voter apathy and lower participation in elections. If citizens perceive their government as corrupt or unresponsive, this can breed disillusionment, leading to challenges for democratic governance. Therefore, efforts to enhance transparency, accountability, and public communication are crucial for sustaining an engaged electorate and maintaining the health of democratic systems.
