A recent Global InfoAnalytics update highlights a growing but nuanced picture: President John Mahama may currently enjoy the highest approval rating recorded by Global InfoAnalytics since 2020, but a new poll suggests Ghanaians still have significant concerns about several key areas of government performance. According to the June 2026 Global InfoAnalytics tracking poll, 71% of Ghanaians approve of President Mahama’s performance, up from 67% in March 2026. Only 23% disapprove, while 6% expressed no opinion. ALSO READ: 10 university courses that might leave you jobless in Ghana The approval ratings remain strong across most regions of the country. Greater Accra recorded 73% approval, the Western Region 76%, Volta Region 76%, and Western North 82%. Savannah Region posted the highest approval rating at 86%, while Ahafo recorded the lowest at 40%.
Top 5 issues Ghanaians want fixed
1) Cost of living and inflation relief
- Despite broad approval signals, many Ghanaians feel price pressures remain stubborn. The poll suggests voters want targeted relief measures, better subsidies, and a credible plan to stabilize prices for essentials like fuel, food, and utilities.
2) Jobs and youth employment
- With annual graduates entering the labour market, a clear demand is for better job creation, apprenticeships, and private-sector incentives. People want tangible pathways from education to sustainable livelihoods.
3) Public health and healthcare access
- Access to quality healthcare, timely services, and improved rural health coverage are highlighted as critical gaps. The public health system needs investment, efficiency, and improved patient experience.
4) Power reliability and energy costs
- The demand for stable electricity and predictable tariffs remains high. Many Ghanaians expect reforms to reduce outages, lower energy costs, and expand access in underserved areas.
5) Education quality and infrastructure
- From classroom resources to teacher support and university funding, respondents call for reforms that raise education standards, reduce student debt burdens, and improve graduates’ employability.
Bottom line
The June 2026 Global InfoAnalytics poll shows strong overall confidence in President Mahama, but it also underscores clear, sector-specific demands. If the government can translate broad approval into concrete reforms in these five areas, it could sustain momentum and broaden support across regions, including both high-approval zones like Savannah (86%) and lower-approval pockets such as Ahafo (40%).
