Right Honorable Raila Odinga’s popularity has grown from 24 per cent last November to 29 per cent last month while that of President Uhuru Kenyatta has dropped from 67 per cent last December to 48 per cent last month.
Mr Musyoka’s popularity rose from 16 per cent last November to 18 per cent last month while Mr Wetang’ula’s improved from 15 to 18 per cent in that period.
The poll which was conducted between March 28 and April 7 by Ipsos Synovate limited shows that Deputy President William Ruto’s rating dropped from 63 per cent in December to 35 per cent last month.
The approval rating for the three Cord leaders, Mr Raila Odinga, Mr Kalonzo Musyoka and Mr Moses Wetang’ula, improved marginally over the same period.
Reports states that Mr Kenyatta's Popularity seem to have been affected by the government’s generally poor response to terror attacks and general insecurity in the country.
Mr Odinga yesterday dismissed the poll as unnecessary.
According to him, the pollster had focused on non issues. He said the pollster should be advised to spend time on issues that benefit Kenyans.
The poll was conducted over the period when Al-Shabaab attacked the Garissa University College where 148 people lost their lives.
The poll also showed that compared with the Grand Coalition Government, the Jubilee Government has perform less.
Some of the people interviewed said Jubilee Government performance on fighting corruption, encouraging economic growth, reducing the cost of living, its human rights record and tackling crime and terrorism was worse off compared to the Grand Coalition under President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga, whose tenure ended in March 2013.
