The Institute of Race Relations poll was conducted earlier in April with a sample of over 2,000 registered voters.
JOHANNESBURG - The Institute of Race Relations has released its latest election poll predicting that the African National Congress will win with the majority of votes, the Economic Freedom Fighters will continue to grow, while the Democratic Alliance will remain stable.This is in contrast to another survey done by global market research firm Ipsos, which found that both the DA and the ANC may be in trouble as South Africans go to the polls next week on 8 May.
“In the Western Cape, the DA currently stands on 44.6% on the provincial ballot, down 5.5 percentage points from February . On a 71.9% turnout scenario, support for the party increases to 50%. On a 69.1% turnout scenario, it increases to 51%,” said Gareth van Onselen, the IRR's head of politics and governance.
According to the Ipsos survey, the ANC’s support had dropped to almost 57%, a 8% difference from the IRR’s predictions.
