ANC could win 60% of votes in May 8 election - new poll suggests | lizTandwa
The ANC appears to be maintaining and building on its Ramaphoria momentum ahead of the upcoming elections, with a new poll indicating that the party could once again attract more than 60% of the vote.
The latest projected figures are based on"a medium voter turnout scenario – if about 80% of those registered to vote go to the polls". of March 2019. A total of 3 511 South Africans, 15 years and older, were interviewed. They were randomly selected and interviewed face-to-face in their homes and home languages. Interviews were conducted all over the country, from metropolitan areas to deep rural areas," Ipsos said in a statement.
With regards to the DA, Ipsos says the party may have scored a few own goals in the build-up to the general elections, but the polls suggest it has improved its standing with the electorate since November last year. It has managed to counter negative opinions which plagued the party due to its handling of disciplinary action against Patricia de Lille.
A South African Institute of Race Relations' poll published in February, however, projected that the ANC would not breach the 60% mark.Ipsos says that cause for concern for all parties will be the 10 million South Africans of voting age who have chosen not to vote in this election.
