A fresh nationwide survey by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed a dramatic surge in public confidence in Ghana’s leadership, with a resounding majority of citizens now expressing approval of the president’s performance and the overall direction of the country.
The June 2025 poll shows that 70% of voters believe Ghana is on the right track, a sharp rise from 62% recorded in April. At the same time, the percentage of respondents who say the country is heading in the wrong direction has dropped to just 20%, down from 26% two months earlier.
The turnaround in public sentiment is being hailed by political observers as unprecedented, especially as support appears to span all regions, with the Ashanti Region being the only exception.
In a major political shift, President John Dramani Mahama’s job approval has climbed to 73%, while just 19% disapprove of his performance. Analysts say the surge in popularity is particularly striking in regions long considered strongholds of the opposition, signalling a potential realignment of voter loyalties.
Even within the ranks of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), which has traditionally opposed Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC), voter sentiment is becoming more nuanced. While 46% of NPP-aligned voters disapprove of the president’s performance, 43% now express approval, highlighting a narrowing partisan divide.
Public satisfaction with the government’s overall performance is also on the rise. The June poll shows 79% of respondents now rate the government’s delivery as excellent, very good, or good, up from 76% in April.
The breakdown is as follows:
These results compare favourably with the April 2025 findings, where 21% said performance was excellent, 55% ranked it as good or very good, 9% called it average, and 15% rated it poor.
With just months to go before the December elections, the latest numbers reflect growing trust in the president’s leadership and renewed hope in the government’s policy direction. Analysts believe the poll signals a significant political momentum for the administration as it continues to roll out key programmes aimed at transforming the economy and improving public services.
