The low satisfaction rates with the functioning of democracy in Latin America since the beginning of the century, has motivated to investigate the causes that originate these results. For that reason, the objective of the 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 perception of corruption; The database used was the Latinobarometer 2017. The results show that both economic and political factors 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.

Palavras-chave : Satisfaction with democracy; political institutions; economy; corruption; Latin America.
