Hot SourceThe latest national poll by Global Info Analytics suggests that President John Mahama’s post-election “honeymoon” period may be cooling, though he retains robust national support.
The survey, conducted between September 15-23, 2025, shows the President’s job approval rating has declined from 73% in July to 67% in September.
Despite the 6-point drop, this is the first time the pollster has recorded majority approval for the President in every region of the country.
His net approval rating stands at a strong +45%.
The dip in sentiment extends to the broader national mood. The proportion of Ghanaians who believe the country is headed in the “right direction” fell from 71% to 66%.
Similarly, economic optimism has softened: 57% of voters report their standard of living has improved over the past year, down 2 points from July, and the percentage who believe it will improve in the next 12 months dropped from 72% to 67%.
The poll indicates a tightening political landscape. Voter affiliation with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) dipped slightly from 44% to 42%, while support for the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) fell from 30% to 27%. This decline appears to benefit undecided voters, with the category of “floating voters” rising to 17%.
A majority of Ghanaians (53%) believe the state of corruption is improving, though this is a significant decrease from 60% in July. Correspondingly, 58% believe the government is doing enough to fight corruption, but those who feel it is “not doing enough” rose from 23% to 29%.
In a significant finding for future elections, the poll reveals that 64% of voters prefer Ghana to elect young leaders, with only 12% opposed. This sentiment is crucial as Gen Z and Millennial voters (under 44 years) now constitute a commanding 78% of the electorate.
The poll, which sampled 9,509 voters across all 16 regions with a margin of error of ±1.30%, points to an electorate that remains broadly supportive of the government but is becoming more measured in its optimism as the new administration settles into governance.
