A recent survey conducted by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) reveals that President John Dramani Mahama enjoys a robust approval rating of 68% among Ghanaians, despite the country grappling with significant socioeconomic pressures.
The IEA’s December 2025 poll, which sampled over 1,000 respondents across all regions, highlights the President’s solid base of support, with only 22% disapproving and 10% undecided.
However, the survey also underscores widespread concerns about the rising cost of living, with 71% of Ghanaians expressing worry about food prices and other consumer items.
Unemployment and illegal mining are also major concerns, with 46% and 30% of respondents identifying these issues as pressing national problems, respectively. The IEA notes that while key economic indicators are improving, substantial socioeconomic difficulties persist, necessitating continued efforts to address citizens’ concerns and broaden public confidence.
The survey’s findings come as the government navigates complex economic challenges, including high debt levels, inflation, and currency depreciation. President Mahama assumed office on January 7, 2025, amidst high expectations and significant governance challenges.
