ANC could win 60% of votes in May 8 election - new poll suggests

The ANC appears to be maintaining and building on its Ramaphoria momentum ahead of the upcoming elections, with a new poll indicating that the party could once again attract more than 60% of the vote.

The latest projected figures are based on"a medium voter turnout scenario – if about 80% of those registered to vote go to the polls". of March 2019. A total of 3 511 South Africans, 15 years and older, were interviewed. They were randomly selected and interviewed face-to-face in their homes and home languages. Interviews were conducted all over the country, from metropolitan areas to deep rural areas," Ipsos said in a statement.

With regards to the DA, Ipsos says the party may have scored a few own goals in the build-up to the general elections, but the polls suggest it has improved its standing with the electorate since November last year. It has managed to counter negative opinions which plagued the party due to its handling of disciplinary action against Patricia de Lille.

A South African Institute of Race Relations' poll published in February, however, projected that the ANC would not breach the 60% mark.Ipsos says that cause for concern for all parties will be the 10 million South Africans of voting age who have chosen not to vote in this election.

lizTandwa God I hope not!

lizTandwa Tsek we do not want thieves to govern.

lizTandwa We can even get more than that

lizTandwa How do you vote for the ANC when they have brought this country to its knees. Like beating your own head against a wall.

lizTandwa Make that 70%

lizTandwa ANC followers generally vote for colour and loyalty and not for performance. Voting fraternity is still way too immature and ignorant. You would think they would be fed up about no food in the kitchen, but seemingly not important according to their vote!

lizTandwa it's saddening bcz Cyril enticed people while looters lying in wait to recall him afterwards

lizTandwa Turkeys voting for Christmas!

lizTandwa Stockholm Syndrome...Where the abused, oppressed and kidnapped come to love those that torment them because they know no better. God help us all! Say goodbye to South Africa.

lizTandwa I think they need to pull their socks, we need a government with 67%

lizTandwa Know wonder SA will ultimately fail. We cannot even keep power on & the same party who aused this will be voted into power AGAIN. Electorate seem to have no economical policy requirements. We luv digging the hole even bigger.

lizTandwa Only gullable ppl will vote for them, promises for 25 years and seen to themselves, more unemployment, more poverty, and worth less, fuel doubled, electricity doubled and you believe the fuckers?

lizTandwa People wake up. They are going to destroy us.

lizTandwa If the ANC wins the election then the vote must be rigged. ANC are done this time...

lizTandwa News 24 stop campaigning for anc , this is BS

lizTandwa Surely 60% of their statisticians can't do polling😂😂😂. ANC is destined for 47.75% these 2019 Elections

lizTandwa EFF will win 70% of votes.

lizTandwa Higher than 60%

lizTandwa You must be joking after loadshedding 😂😂😂....they will lose all metros

lizTandwa And SA will be 60% closer to total collapse.

lizTandwa Keep promising Ranking,And be ready to witness a nose explosion on the 8th.

lizTandwa Which polls? Bcz here they suggest otherwise unless there is a plan to manipulate ballots so that we will feel like it was foretold

lizTandwa With their looting and load shedding i dont think so ad a fucked up country which they fucked up i dont think so.

lizTandwa Never only in dreams

lizTandwa They must first sort out Eskom issues, vote forcast means Jack shit

lizTandwa Pitty

lizTandwa By hook or by crook!

lizTandwa I highly doubt that !!!

lizTandwa you mean 60 percent of the voters are dumb.

lizTandwa hahaha

lizTandwa Rural vote always the game changer

lizTandwa If elections where to be contest on social media like twitter which political party can win ?

lizTandwa Liar! Liar! Since when is 8 months old poll new? There are polls run everyday on social media that suggests otherwise. Yes, social media polls might not be fully representative but at least are recent and gives a glimpse of how the vote might go.

lizTandwa Dream!

lizTandwa April Fools isn’t until the 1st you are a bit early 🤣

lizTandwa Oh lord please help south africa

lizTandwa Probably will, knowing the stupidity of the anc voter.

lizTandwa Well. I got nothing to add. We then deserve the darkness. 60% of the people must then not complain. Disconnect all the illegal power connections. Maybe we can then go back to stage 1.

lizTandwa Banganya.

lizTandwa No ways, 60% is something that you wish, ANC will get 43% come 8 May

lizTandwa Yes they will.

lizTandwa 😆😆😆😆

lizTandwa With load shedding and fuel price going up monthly?

lizTandwa That 60% need to be sent to a psychiatric hospital for check up,,,is insane.

lizTandwa May the good Lord help South Africa 🇿🇦 !

lizTandwa God help South Africa

lizTandwa Are you preparing the country for vote rigging?

lizTandwa Then every single one of those voters, deserve the misery, poverty and chaos that awaits.

lizTandwa I will vote EFF mina

lizTandwa

lizTandwa Ipsos is surely sponsored by the ANC to spread propaganda lies and fake news there’s no voter turnout which is 100% let’s count 61+18+10 = 89 so let them tell us how many % will smaller parties get if they pull 7% together the voter turnouts is 96%

lizTandwa Lol joke of the century sad thing its true!

lizTandwa They can win because they have all resources and money.

lizTandwa That's scary... How retarded can people be? But then again, who can those ANC voters turn to? Hopefully not EFF. That's even worse than cANCer...

lizTandwa Well we know where the euthanasia program needs to start

lizTandwa And this shows how the poor, uneducated are being used to keep these fat cats in power. Even through the complete and utter failure. Although the Da and all other parties are such weak opposition its sad. This beautiful country being ruined by greed. We need a hero...

lizTandwa I don't think so.that would mean a lot of South Africans are delusional.and it would also mean that things are gonna get worse. everything that the ANC touches turns into dust.

lizTandwa you wish shame

lizTandwa I think your bot is stuck in 1994 ! They could have managed a more negative campaign with recent events if they tried !

lizTandwa Lol day dreaming neh....

lizTandwa 😂

lizTandwa blf is cumng

lizTandwa African liberation movements have loyal suppoters. For example no matter how terrible the situation is in Zimbabwe, ZanuPF will always be voted for by Zimbabweans

lizTandwa Propaganda fake news

lizTandwa Trying too hard ne

lizTandwa LoL 😂

lizTandwa 😆

lizTandwa mxm only in their dreams,,,,. With this loadshedding crisis, that will be their main reason for their loss.

lizTandwa Surly 60% of our citizens wont be that stupid. What pole . Done by whom ?

lizTandwa You clowns just don’t learn, do you ?

lizTandwa It will be great

lizTandwa 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣Must be joking.... Anc is going down....down
