Researchers are crunching the numbers with elections just days away.
In fact, some of the numbers suggest the party could emerge as a wounded winner.All polls are demographically representative and sample sizes ranged from 2400 to 3500 respondents.
The results differ as much as the parties themselves. But, they provide some insight into what voters are thinking.The Institute of Race Relations has the ANC just scraping by with a majority, down 11% from the last election, while the DA gains marginally on its 2014 result to reach 24%. The EFF leaps from 6% to 14%.MarkData polling has a slightly more positive outcome for the governing ANC with just under 60% of the vote going its way.
Finally, IPSOS data shows the ANC cresting the 60% threshold almost on par with its previous election result. The Democratic Alliance weakens its position to under 20%, and the EFF gains, but not by as much as other polls suggest this time managing an 11% share. This time next week the country will be on the eve of a historic election. The data's in and it's good for some, bad for others.
