The majority of Ghanaians think that the country is headed in the wrong direction.
This is according to a poll by an independent polling company, Global InfoAnalytics which says 67% of the populace think the country is on the wrong track.
“On the question of whether voters believe the country is heading in the right direction or wrong direction, only 26% were of the view that the country is heading in the right direction with 67% saying it is heading in the wrong direction,” the survey said.
Also, President Akufo-Addo’s job approval rating plummeted further from 34% in January 2022 to 27% in April 2022.
A whopping 67% of voters disapprove of the job performance of the president, resulting in a net approval rating of 40% negative (approval minus disapproval).
