CA Sunday Times survey has found that contrary to public speculation, the ANC looks set to win a two-thirds majority in this year’s elections.
The survey, carried out by Ipsos on behalf of the newspaper, found that the ANC has 66.1% of voter support, that 22.9% support the Democratic Alliance and 3.7% are in favour of Economic Freedom Fighter leader Julius Malema.
In the 2009 elections, the ruling party garnered only 65.9% of the vote.
While the survey was concluded before the release of the Nkandla report on the security upgrades at President Jacob Zuma’s homestead, it found that ANC-inclined voters felt the drama was more a Zuma issue than an ANC matter.
However, a survey last month by Ipsos found that half of South African adults believe that Zuma and his government are not doing their jobs well. These were the results of face-to-face interviews with 3 564 randomly selected adult South Africans.
