  "summary": "A recent poll conducted by Politrack Africa indicates that a majority of Kenyans believe the country is moving in the right direction, with 45.2% of respondents expressing this view. This marks a shift from previous opinion surveys that consistently showed a majority of Kenyans believing the country was heading in the wrong direction. Roads and housing were identified as the best-performing sectors under the William Ruto administration, receiving a 16.3% rating from respondents, while health services and agriculture followed with 13% and 10%, respectively. The survey also shows President William Ruto as the most preferred presidential candidate and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as the most supported political party nationally.",
