According to the “Postplebiscites Survey” of the Laboratory of Surveys and Social Analysis (LEAS) of the Adolfo Ibáñez University, carried out between January 11 and 23 with a national sample of 1,149 people over 18 years of age, 62% of those consulted were in agreement with the statement according to which “democracy is preferable to any other form of government.”
This option had totaled only 46% in 2021. In the same sense, only 26% approved the phrase “in some circumstances, an authoritarian government may be preferable to a democratic one”, a figure similar to that of 2021. However, 39% of those consulted expressed a negative evaluation of the functioning of democracy, while only 23% indicated a positive evaluation. 43% of those surveyed consider that the current constitution was “very or somewhat legitimized” after the plebiscite and 37% consider it “not at all or very little legitimized.”
The study estimated that on December 17, proportionally more men (43%), those over 65 years of age (49%) and people from the northern zone (45%) voted for “For” while the support for “Against” occurred more among women (56%), people between 18 and 34 years old (58%) and those from the Metropolitan Region (57%)
