A new nationwide poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed that an overwhelming majority of Ghanaians believe the country is on the right path, with growing approval for the president’s job performance and the government's overall delivery.

According to the June 2025 survey, 70% of voters say Ghana is headed in the right direction, marking a significant increase from 62% recorded in April.

Conversely, those who believe the country is headed in the wrong direction dropped from 26% in April to 20% in the latest poll.

The data indicates that a majority of voters in every region, except the Ashanti Region, believe the country is progressing positively—an unprecedented shift that cuts across traditional political and regional lines.

In a notable political development, the poll also shows 73% of respondents approving of the President’s job performance, while only 19% disapprove.

Remarkably, the president’s approval ratings have surged in regions considered strongholds of the main opposition party. Analysts describe this as a historic shift in Ghana’s polling landscape.

Approval for the president was found to cut across party lines, although a slim majority of NPP voters (46%) disapprove of his performance, compared to 43% who approve.

When it comes to the government’s overall performance, 79% of voters rate it as excellent or very good/good—a rise from 76% in April.

The breakdown shows:

18% say the government’s performance has been excellent,

61% describe it as very good or good,

10% consider it average, and

11% rate it as poor or very poor.

This compares favourably to the April 2025 poll in which 21% rated the government as excellent, 55% as very good/good, 9% average, and 15% poor/very poor.

 

The poll results, analysts say, point to rising public confidence in the current administration’s leadership and policy direction as the country prepares for crucial elections in December.
