An opinion poll by Global InfoAnalytics (GIA) has revealed that more than half of respondents support calls for the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to step down.
While 54 per cent supported the call, 40 per cent were against it, with the remaining six per cent saying they did not have any opinion on the subject matter.
The poll also focused on the economic recovery address by the president on October 30.
It suggested that 12 per cent of respondents felt the economic recovery address by the president was inspiring.
25% said it was uninspiring, while 22% said the speech addressed the major issues, and 38% thought it did not address the main issues.
In addition, the poll sought the views of respondents on the recent speech by former President John Dramani Mahama.
For the analysis, only 11 per cent said it was inspiring; nine per cent said it was uninspiring. 38 per cent said it addressed the major issues, whilst 11 per cent said it did not address the problems, and six per cent did not have an opinion.
One question the poll posed was which of the speeches gave hope.
Fifty-six per cent said John Mahama’s speech gave more hope than Nana Akufo-Addo’s speech.
Sixteen per cent said Nana Akufo-Addo’s speech gave hope; 15 per cent said none inspired hope, while 11 per cent said both speeches gave hope.
On who respondents trust to better manage the crisis if elected, 43% of respondents backed John Mahama, 17% backed Alan Kyerematen, 14% backed Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, 8% backed Kennedy Agyapong, 1% backed Dr Kwabena Duffuor, and 19% prefer someone else.
