According to Mussa Dankwah, the Global InfoAnalytics latest poll suggests 21 per cent of respondents disapprove of the President’s performance, with 7 per cent having no opinion.
He highlighted that the approval rate reflected the President’s personal performance.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV’s The Point of View on Wednesday, August 12, Mussa Dankwah stated, “This is based on his personal performance. Seventy-two per cent of Ghanaians approved his performance. Twenty-one per cent disapproved, and seven per cent had no opinion. The approval for this term of his presidency is very high. People are cool with him”.
According to Mussa Dankwah, Mahama’s highest approval rating was in the Upper West Region, where 92 per cent of respondents approved of his performance, followed by the Volta Region, which recorded 88 per cent approval.
Northern Region recorded 72 per cent, and the Eastern Region recorded 71 per cent.

Meanwhile, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the ranking member of Parliament’s Economy and Development Committee, has accused the NDC of abandoning its major promises.
Oppong Nkrumah challenged the NDC government to account for the broader set of promises it made.
According to Oppong Nkrumah, the government appears to have shifted its focus towards a few areas it can showcase.
He argued that the NDC government’s performance should instead be measured against the specific targets it set for itself in its 2025 and 2026 economic programmes.
Speaking on Citi Fm’s Eyewitness News, Oppong Nkrumah stated, “There are only about three games in town. Everything else that they listed, literally they have abandoned it”.
“You were here when they said we were going to build 600 CHPS compounds in the first year, and now they said they were going to do about 35 Agenda 111s,” he said.
“In sports, they said we’re going to build about seven stadia in, I think, the first or second year,” he said.
“The major outcomes that they listed, they’ve literally abandoned all of them,” he said.
Oppong Nkrumah linked the situation partly to the government’s fiscal strategy.
He argued that revenue mobilisation had not grown strongly enough to match the size and demands of the economy, adding that the limited fiscal space has made it difficult for the government to pursue the wide range of programmes it initially promised,
“We have a theory of why they have abandoned all of those and are just clinging onto about two or three things as evidence that their government is performing,” he said.
