President John Mahama's approval rating has risen to 71 percent, the highest score recorded for any Ghanaian president in Global InfoAnalytics' tracking surveys since 2020, according to the firm's latest National Tracking Poll released on June 15, 2026.

The findings indicate a four-point increase from the 67 percent approval rating registered in March this year. Meanwhile, 23 percent of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the President's performance, while six percent remained undecided.

The survey reveals widespread support for the President across all 16 regions of the country. The Savannah Region recorded the strongest approval level at 86 percent, followed by Western North with 82 percent. Ahafo posted the lowest approval rating at 40 percent, while the North East Region registered 52 percent. In Greater Accra, nearly three-quarters of respondents (73 percent) approved of the President's performance, compared with 55 percent in the Ashanti Region.

Political affiliation continues to shape perceptions of the President's performance. Among supporters of the governing NDC, approval stands at an overwhelming 91 percent, with only six percent expressing disapproval. In contrast, just 37 percent of NPP sympathisers approve of the President's stewardship, while 54 percent disapprove. Among independent or floating voters, 65 percent expressed approval compared to 22 percent who held a contrary view.

The poll also points to growing public optimism about the country's direction. Sixty-six percent of respondents believe Ghana is moving in the right direction, while 27 percent think otherwise. More than half of those surveyed (57 percent) reported an improvement in their living conditions over the past year, and 68 percent said they expect their standard of living to improve further in the months ahead.

Assessment of the government's overall performance was similarly positive. Twenty-two percent rated the administration's performance as excellent, while 47 percent described it as either very good or good. Only 13 percent assessed the government's performance as poor or very poor.

Despite the generally favourable outlook, respondents identified unemployment as the government's biggest challenge, with 44 percent citing it as an area requiring urgent attention. Concerns about the economy followed at 32 percent, while 29 percent pointed to recurring power outages, commonly referred to as dumsor.

Employment opportunities and economic management also emerged as the issues Ghanaians most want addressed, with 54 percent and 51 percent respectively identifying them as key priorities.

On corruption, public perception appears to be improving. A majority of respondents (54 percent) said corruption levels have declined, while 21 percent believed the situation has worsened. Additionally, 62 percent said the government is doing enough to tackle corruption, up slightly from 60 percent in March.

The survey further found that the Ghana Police Service continues to be viewed as the country's most corrupt institution, scoring 6.45 out of 10 on the perception scale. Ministers and government officials received the lowest corruption perception score of 4.54, making them the institutions respondents considered least corrupt.

The nationwide poll was conducted between May 30 and June 12, 2026, covering all 16 regions and 84 constituencies. A total of 8,784 registered voters participated, with 7,484 interviewed face-to-face and 1,302 responding online. The survey was conducted at a 99 percent confidence level with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.
