A recent TIFA opinion poll reveals a significant decline in optimism among Kenyans, with 62% feeling the country is moving in the wrong direction in 2025, a notable increase from 48% in 2023. Dissatisfaction stems largely from concerns over economic performance, governance, and recent policy impacts like the Finance Bill.

• 70% of Kenyans polled reported their economic situation has worsened since 2022.
• The Finance Bill is perceived negatively by 82% of respondents, who cite increased cost of basic goods and services.
• The national survey was conducted between August 23, 2025 and September 3, 2025, involving 2023 randomly selected Kenyan adults across all 47 counties.
