Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 48050, member: 636"] Most Ghanaians actually want to pay more money for gas at the pump according to fresh research numbers. Global InfoAnalytics asked thousands of people about the dumsor levy that adds one cedi to every liter of fuel. More than half the country backs this controversial charge despite all the complaints people hear on social media. Only about one in five citizens said they hate the extra fee that government leaders put on gasoline. Nearly a quarter of respondents said they feel neutral about the whole fuel tax situation. The research company talked to over ten thousand Ghanaians from 84 different areas around the country. Workers made phone calls and met people face to face between May and late June to gather opinions. Scientists say they feel 99 percent confident about these results because they used proper methods. The survey covered people from different political parties and backgrounds across Ghana. Citizens also told pollsters their lives have gotten better during the past twelve months. Almost six out of ten people said their living conditions improved compared to last year. Only 12 percent of respondents claimed things got worse for their families recently. One quarter said nothing really changed about their daily situations. President Mahama earned his best grades for keeping the cedi currency stable against foreign money. People gave him decent marks for managing the economy and good governance efforts. Citizens rated his work on controlling prices and fighting illegal mining fairly well. His lowest scores came from creating jobs and fixing electricity problems that still bother many communities. [/QUOTE]
