NAIROBI, Kenya, Sept 13 – A new opinion poll released by Trends and Insights For Africa (TIFA) Research firm shows that 49 percent of respondents believe Kenyan is heading in the right way.

The poll which was conducted last week among 1,007 respondents found that 36 percent of Kenyans agree that the country is headed in the wrong direction.

This is a sharp decline from the 56 percent that was reported during a public survey conducted in June.

A slight plurality of those who consider Kenya‘s current direction to be right told TIFA that their economic condition now appears to be worse off than it was when the Kenya Kwanza took office on September 13 last year.

73 percent of those who said the country is headed in the negative expressed that their economic condition is worse off than when a similar poll was conducted in June.

For their part, even among those who express a neutral view about the country’s direction, a clear majority also report their economic condition as having worsened over the last twelve months.
