The data is coming from the world's largest democracy perception study, published by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation (a Danish-based non-profit organisation).

Something not mentioned in the comments; In my experience Americans do not really understand democracy ; they understand voting.

Debatable, they suck at voting.

I think the national participation level is at a maximum possible. Many understand that voting is worthless and have disengaged; and there is no way to get those people to vote without making new and transparent ballot counting methods.

The USA is very complex and there are states which have honest voting. I think, but don’t know, that participation is higher in those states as a rule.
