### New Cross-National Survey Data
Analyzes survey data from 18 European nations (Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland) spanning 1981-2018.
### Key Findings
Citizens consistently support democratic self-governance across all ages and periods. However, clear evidence of growing numbers of 'democrats in name only' exists among young voters in some countries like Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland.
### Implications
This research demonstrates a second phase understanding of democratic support that extends beyond earlier fatigue concerns to acknowledge the multi-faceted nature of political endorsement.
