A poll has emerged showing how Kenyans would describe 2023 and their thought regarding the year.
In the latest poll released by Infotrak Research and Consulting on Friday, it showed that 62 per cent of Kenyans describe 2023 as a generally terrible year.
"As the curtains close on 2023, a palpable sense of weariness hangs heavy over Kenya. A stark 62 per cent of Kenyans paint a picture of a year gone wrong, labeling it "bad" or "terrible," the poll said.
According to the poll, 27 per cent of Kenyans thought of 2023 to be an average year; not bad or good.
Infotrak showed that only a glimmer of hope shines through the 11 per cent who found it as a good or excellent year.
In the poll, the year was mainly worse for Nyanza, Coast, Nairobi and Western.
Nyanza led by 71 per cent in 2023 being a terrible year.
"This sentiment isn't evenly distributed. Nyanza bore the brunt of the year's hardship, with a resounding 71 per cent calling it terrible," the poll read in part.
Nairobi and the Coast echoed the pain with 67 per cent each echoing the sentiment.
According to the poll, in Western, 65 per cent found little to celebrate.
However, pockets of resilience emerged in Eastern and Central regions, where nearly a third found solace in an average 2023.
North Eastern stood alone, offering a flicker of optimism.
The survey was conducted on 1,500 respondents between December 18 to December 19, 2023.
Interviews were conducted through Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) across all 47 counties and eight regions.
There was a +/- 2.53 per cent margin of error.
