This question will use The Economist's Democracy Index, resolving based on whether the United States score in 2026 goes up (more democratic), down (more authoritarian), or stays flat (no change) relative to its score in the previous year. If the official report is paywalled, I may resolve to a secondary source such as Wikipedia.
