Abstract
The low satisfaction rates with the functioning of democracy in Latin America in recent decades, has motivated from different perspectives of analysis to investigate academics from all over the continent the causes that originate these results. For that reason, the objective of this article is to explain what factors affect the perception of satisfaction with the functioning of democracy in that region. To verify this, a binary logistic regression model was applied to eight variables grouped into three dimensions: economic, political performance and corruption perception; The database used was the Latinobarometer. The results show that economic factors such as politicians generate a greater probability of being dissatisfied with the functioning of democracy, despite this, people continue to consider democracy as the best form of government.
