In the IRR’s last poll in December 2018, the ANC had 56% of the vote, while the DA was on 18% and the EFF 11%. In the most recent poll, conducted between February 12 and 26, the DA saw an increase to 21.8% and the EFF 12.2%.The 2019 general elections are being touted as the most hotly contested polls since 1994, with opposition parties hoping to push the ANC below 50% in provinces such as Gauteng and Northern Cape.
However, the numbers do not look good for either party in their provinces. The recent poll shows that neither party will be able to receive the majority of the vote in Gauteng. The EFF is standing at 18.2% in Gauteng, up 7.9 percentage points from the previous general election.
