The Global InfoAnalytics lastest tracking poll has revealed that 71% of Ghanaians currently approve President John Dramani Mahama’s job performance compared to 67% in March 2026.
According to Global InfoAnalytics, the 71% recorded is the highest for any president since their 2020 regular tracking polls.
The poll titled the June 2026 National Tracking Poll found that 71% of Ghanaians approve of the President’s performance, up from 67% in March 2026, with 23% of respondents disapproving of his performance, while 6% had no opinion.
Global InfoAnalytics disclosed that they found majority approval for the President across all regions of the country, with Savannah Region, where 86% of respondents approved of his performance, followed by Western North with 82%.
The Bono Region at 80%, the Volta Region at 76%, and the Western Region at 76%, in Greater Accra, 73% of respondents approved of Mahama’s performance; however, the Ashanti Region recorded 55% approval, with the Ahafo Region registering the lowest approval rating at 40%.
Also, 66% of Ghanaians believe the country is headed in the right direction, compared with 27% who believe it is moving in the wrong direction.
The poll was conducted between May 30 and June 12, 2026, and sampled 8,784 voters across all 16 regions and 84 constituencies.
However, the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) nationwide poll released today, Wednesday, June 10, which has revealed that President John Mahama’s job approval rating has declined.
According to the poll conducted in May 2026 in all sixteen regions of Ghana and covering over 1,000 respondents, President Mahama’s job approval rating declined from 68% recorded in December 2025 to 58.9% in May.
The IEA, however, indicated that a more than 30 percentage point gap between approval and disapproval indicates positive assessments of the President’s performance.
“On the economy, nearly three in four approvers, 73.5%, credit the government’s handling of the economy, followed by road infrastructure at 16.0% and energy and electricity at 2.7%.
The poll indicated that the economy still tops the list at 30.9%, though the IEA cautions that this does not necessarily reflect a rejection of the government’s macroeconomic record.
“Electricity supply was cited by 29.9% of disapprovers, a finding the IEA links directly to a temporary power supply constraint in May 2026 that brought frequent outages to homes and businesses across the country.
Corruption was raised by 19.1% of disapprovers, a signal, the IEA notes, that the government’s anti-corruption rhetoric has yet to fully convince a significant portion of the public, reports stated.
The IEA further cited that Ghanaians’ expectations are rising. “The findings suggest that Ghanaians are broadly supportive of the President’s leadership but are expectant that the progress recorded at the macro level will increasingly be felt in their daily lives”.
Meanwhile, Professor Charles Marfo, the Provost of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at KNUST, has boldly stated that President John Dramani Mahama’s administration’s recent job approval rating should fall below 15%.
According to Professor Charles Marfo, the ruling John Mahama government has disappointed the ordinary Ghanaians despite the high expectations placed on them following its massive win in the 2024 election.
Speaking on a panel discussion on Oyerepa TV in a video shared on TikTok, Professor Charles Marfo disclosed, “NDC is in power, and they should step in and open the Afari Hospital. That is why people are saying that the president’s approval rating is going down. For me, I believe it should have dropped even lower than what we are seeing below 15%.
“When it drops, it will make him sit up. Some of us had so much confidence in them, but look at what is happening. When they came into office, they started with the Krofuom Market. Have they completed the Kumasi market? They are disappointing the people, and someone should tell them,” he said.
