Three in four Kenyans say the country is going the wrong way, TIFA poll finds.
Seventy-six per cent of Kenyans say the country is headed in the wrong direction, according to a TIFA Research poll released on Wednesday. Fifteen per cent said the right direction, and 8% said neither.
That is the worst reading TIFA has recorded in its tracking. In November 2025 the figure was 68%.
Money is the reason. Seven in ten of those unhappy pointed to the economy – 44% named unemployment and poverty, 25% named inflation, high prices and taxes. Corruption came next at 19%.
Asked about their own pockets, 66% said their economic situation is worse than before the 2022 election. Twelve per cent said better and 23% said about the same.
The gloom is countrywide, but it is deepest in Mount Kenya at 90% and Nairobi at 89%. Lower Eastern followed on 83%, South Rift 82%, Western 77%, Nyanza 76% and Coast 74%.
TIFA interviewed 2,048 adults across all 47 counties between 13 and 22 June 2026. The margin of error is 2.18 percentage points. The fieldwork was done in June, so the numbers describe how people felt three months ago, not this week.
