President Jonathan’s Job Approval Rating Peaks At 62% In July

Latest governance poll results released by NOIPolls for the month of July 2014 revealed that 62% of adult Nigerians surveyed approve of the job performance of the President over the past month.

This rating portrays a 5-points increase from June 2014 and represents the highest rating in the 19 month period that NOIPolls started monthly governance polls in January 2013.

The increase in the president’s rating is largely due to the highly positive ratings recorded in the South-East and South-South zones with 80% each.

More findings revealed that the President received an average ranking for his performance on Economy, Education, Health, Agriculture & Food Security, Transportation and Foreign Policy & Diplomacy, while he was ranked very poor for his performance on Job Creation, Power and Security.

The results also disclosed that slightly more than half (51%) of adult Nigerians surveyed reported that power supply in their area “It remains bad” , “It’s very bad and has gone worse”; and the South-East and South-South zones accounted for the highest proportion of respondents who experienced poor supply of power in July 2014 with 60% each.

In addition 33% stated “It has improved very much” and “It has improved a little” within the last one month; this represents a 1-point increase in this group from June 2014.

These were some of the key findings from the Governance Snap Poll conducted in the week of July 21st 2014.
