With only a few weeks to go until the local government elections, the ANC appears to be lagging behind the DA in Tshwane, Johannesburg and Nelson Mandela Bay.
According to the latest eNCA poll, compiled by Ipsos, the ANC increased its support in Tshwane by three percentage points to 26%, but was still behind the DA which declined by the same margin to 39% points.
The ANC also saw a decline in popularity in Nelson Mandela Bay, dropping six percentage points to 21% this week, giving the DA a more than 20 percentage points lead.
The EFF made nominal gains in both metros, increasing its support to 12% and 10% respectively.
Johannesburg was the only metro to rate the ANC better than the DA when it came to service delivery, with an increase in support to 31%. However, most of the respondents still said they’d throw their weight behind the DA, giving the party 36% of the vote. Johannesburg was also the only metro where support for the EFF dropped to 10%.
