Mid July 2016, a similar poll by a survey agency, NOIPolls, indicated that Buhari’s job approval rating for the month of June 2016 plummeted to 39 percent as against a very high rating of 80 per cent in October 2015.

Unlike in his initial period in office, 2015, when most Nigerians paid attention to a transformation message he professed, performance rating of Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buharu has plunged to some pathetic figures. In a latest International Guardian online public poll activated June 28 through August 8, 2016, only 5% believe he was doing an excellent job.  A whopping 83% handed him a poor performance rating; 5% felt his stewardship was fair, whereas 4% and 3% rated him very good and good respectively.

Mid July 2016, a similar poll by a survey agency, NOIPolls, indicated that Buhari’s job approval rating for the month of June 2016 plummeted to 39 percent as against a very high rating of 80 per cent in October 2015. This score, according to NOIPOlls, represented a nine-point decline when compared to the rating in May 2016, which stood at 48 percent. In a conclusion, the survey revealed that practically four in 10 Nigerians (39 percent) approved the president’s job performance in June 2016 – the lowest approval rating since his inauguration in May 2015

International Guardian poll neither explored nor compared categories of concerns with individual opinions, but left an open ended question on how respondents would rate the President Buhari’s regime thus far. The results were much anticipated and were consistent with economic hardship the country faces at the moment. A slump in the country’s fiscal system has adversely affected the cost and standard of living for the common man. Furthermore, the regimes has been reluctant in addressing core sociopolitical issues facing the country – from security, heath, education  to affordability of consumer goods.

Poll Scope and Validity

The poll accessed Nigerian online users worldwide and was powered by a special application automated to randomly select 350 votes from thousands of respondents through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Each IP address was allowed one vote with an option to revote throughout the study period.

Impact Limitations

Although this study invoked strong design, technology precision, and excellent statistics, result might have been impacted from factors such as zones and regional tracking of respondents. There are six geopolitical zones in Nigeria; thus a process that categorizes respondents from each zone might have revealed a different outcome.
