IRRPoll shows decline in ANC support, EFF growth remains high
Ahead of the national elections in May this year, the governing African National Congress’ “rejuvenation” has slowed and declined, while the growth of the Economic Freedom Fighters remains high.
This the IRR’s third poll on the electoral landscape –the first was conducted in September 2018, followed by a “snap poll” in December.Van Onselen said the latest poll was in the field between February 12 and 26 2019. The governing party’s current standing at 54.7% nationally, according to the poll, is a 7.4 percentage points decline from the 62.1% the party secured in the 2014 general elections, van Onselen said.According to the IRR’s recent poll, the DA stands at 21.8% nationally, a 0.4 percentage points decline from the 22.2% the party secured in 2014, van Onselen said.The EFF currently stands on 12.2% nationally, up 5.9 percentage points from the 6.3% it secured in 2014, van Onselen said.
Meanwhile, 71% of all white voters polled indicated they would vote DA, compared to 5% for the ANC and 0% for the EFF. “It is clear those 5% to 10% of alienated black ANC voters are fluid and have, to one degree or another, shifted between the ANC and EFF over the past five months.
