President John Dramani Mahama's job approval rating has hit 71%, up from 67% in March, according to the latest Global InfoAnalytics poll released on Sunday, June 15. That's the highest mark any sitting president has scored in the firm's tracking series since 2020.

Only 23% of respondents disapprove of the President's performance, while 6% have no opinion. The poll, conducted between May 30 and June 12, sampled 8,784 voters across all 16 regions and 84 constituencies. It has a margin of error of ±2.5% at a 99% confidence level.

Approval was strongest in the Savannah region (86%) and Western North (82%). Greater Accra gave the President 73%, and the Central region 70%. At the bottom, Ahafo recorded just 40%, followed by North East at 52% and Ashanti at 55%.

The partisan divide is sharp. Among NDC supporters, 91% approve of Mahama's performance. Among NPP sympathisers, only 37% approve while 54% disapprove. Floating voters gave the President a 65% approval rating, with 22% disapproving.

On the direction of the country, 66% of Ghanaians say things are moving in the right direction, while 27% say the opposite – figures largely unchanged from March. Optimism about the future is also steady: 68% expect their standard of living to improve over the next 12 months.

On the standard of living right now, 57% say their situation has improved compared to a year ago, 16% say it has worsened, and 23% say it has stayed the same.

Despite the strong numbers, Ghanaians aren't blind to problems. The poll asked which areas the government is performing worst in. Unemployment topped the list at 44%, followed by the general economy at 32%, and dumsor at 29%.

Corruption is one area where many see progress. 54% of respondents say the state of corruption in Ghana has improved, while 21% say it has worsened. When asked which institution is best placed to fight corruption, 36% said both the Attorney General and the Office of the Special Prosecutor are equally capable. Among those who picked one, 24% favoured the AG and 16% the OSP.

The poll also touched on social issues. On examination malpractice, 67% of Ghanaians support publishing photos of adults caught cheating in exams as a deterrent. Only 13% oppose. On school indiscipline, 38% favour bringing back corporal punishment, 27% support suspension, and 20% back community service.

On political leadership, 57% of Ghanaians say they prefer younger people to lead the country. That sentiment is strongest in the Savannah region (89%) and Upper West (82%). In Ashanti, Bono, and Western North, majorities didn't share the view. Asked what age is too old to lead, 21% said age is irrelevant, 17% set the threshold at 50–54, and 46% said 65 and above.

The poll was conducted face-to-face with 7,484 respondents, and 1,302 via online responses.
