A new poll shows most Kenyans think the country is seriously off course. The TIFA survey found sixty-eight percent believe things are headed the wrong way, with only seventeen percent feeling positive. Dissatisfaction is highest in the Mt Kenya region, where eighty-three percent hold a negative view.
Economic pain is the main driver. Big majorities in every area say their household finances have gotten worse since the last election. Mt Kenya and Nairobi report the most severe declines. This gloom even impacts views of the broad-based government, with over half of its own supporters saying the national direction is wrong.
Regional splits are stark. While Northern and Central Rift zones are slightly less pessimistic, negative ratings are overwhelming elsewhere. Lower Eastern, Coast, and Nairobi all show wrong track sentiment above seventy percent. The data suggests economic pressures are reshaping attitudes well beyond typical political loyalties.
