Mahama’s approval ratings dip 6 points but remain strong nationwide

A new survey conducted by Global InfoAnalytics shows that while President John Dramani Mahama continues to enjoy broad public support, his approval ratings have experienced a slight decline between July and September 2025.

According to the poll, the president’s job approval dropped from 73% in July to 67% in September, a six-point fall.

Approximately 22% of voters stated that they disapprove of his performance, while 11% expressed no opinion. This gives the president a net approval rating of +45%.

Despite the decline, the report noted that every region in the country now approves of President Mahama’s performance — a first in the polling firm’s data.

On the broader direction of the country, the survey revealed a similar downward shift. While most voters still believe Ghana is headed in the right direction, the figure fell from 71% in July to 66% in September, representing a five-point drop.

The poll, however, highlighted that in every region, the majority of voters continue to believe the country is on the right track.

When asked about the government’s overall performance, 18% of respondents rated it as excellent, 54% as very good or good, 12% as average, and 16% as poor or very poor.

The survey noted a five-point increase in the number of voters who now describe the government’s performance as poor or very poor compared to the July 2025 poll.

Global InfoAnalytics concluded that while President Mahama and his government still command strong support nationwide, recent declines suggest growing voter scrutiny of their performance.
