I found this article and interestingly it began:
"Only 28 percent of people polled in 17 Latin American countries said they were satisfied with democracy."
With the recent swing of Latin American politics to the left, I think democracy will be better received. For all those in Dr. Huck's class i suppose a lot of my comments are class are unfounded :(
the article can be found here.

Don't throw in the towel so easily! Remember, Latin Americans may define democracy in ways quite differently than it is defined in the United States, which means that the statistic you reference may not really be incompatible with your thoughtful comments in class. Do a little more digging to see where this statistic originated and what was at the root of the survey questions that led to it.
