A recent Politrack Africa survey has revealed that Kenyans have mixed feelings about the country's trajectory. The survey, conducted between September 15 and 25, 2026, among 20,419 respondents, shows that 45.2% of respondents believe Kenya is moving in the right direction. On the other hand, 44.6% of those surveyed think the country is headed in the wrong direction.
The survey's findings indicate a closely divided public sentiment, with neither view commanding a clear majority. The narrow difference between the two groups reflects a largely split assessment of Kenya's current direction among those surveyed. The results were weighted according to each county's share of registered voters, with a reported margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
The survey also found that 10.2% of respondents were unsure about the country's trajectory. This suggests that a significant number of Kenyans are uncertain about the direction the country is heading. The survey's results provide valuable insights into the public's perception of the country's progress.
