Latest election polls show DA winning three major SA metros

Weekly election polls run by Ipsos and eNCA show that the Democratic Alliance is in the lead across the three most hotly-contested metros ahead of the 2016 municipal elections.

should've kept it quiet... now the free t-shirt and kfc leg brigade will move in to win votes...

The problem is those "Undecided" voters.
They will most likely just vote as they have historically, and that will keep the ANC in power in those areas (Except NMB).

 

[Shi]

Are they saying that some of those polled have changed their minds on a weekly basis?

 

[dualmeister]

The DA will win Joburg?

Falls off chair laughing.

 

[oober]

Lol everyone assumes elections will be fair. Wasn't the IEC involved in some shady deals in the last few years?

Or they could be voters for smaller parties and independent runners.

Either way it looks like the DA will have to find a way to form a coalition with the EFF. The problem is that the EFF is more aligned with ANC policy, so those two would make more likely allies. Their main issue is with Zuma, not with the ANC itself...

I'm not sure supporters of either party would like that much.

POLLS in SA is fcking useless NO the DA won't win anything the ANC will dominate this election, see the problem with these new age polls and western concepts is that the majority of the real cANCer supporters do not have internet access and they will flock out of nowhere and make predictions like these look like child games.

That uneducated mass you never hear about who flocks to the booths once every few years, that's the real power of the ANC.

Ok then, how far out do you think these polls are?

Since we will have the results in a month, maybe you can make a prediction to show just how far out these polls will prove to be.

Do you know how polling works?

Uhm I assume sampling smaller portions like sampling a small group to get the taste of the whole pot so to speak in other words the Law of probability which does not apply in Africa my friend.

I assume these polls are done by means of telephonic interviews calling randomly generated numbers or via online or sms feeds.

@toxicbunny sure I predict the DA will keep the western Cape with a larger EFF following and the anc will take JHB as usual

Most petrol attendants I speak to from all over are quite gatvol not for the ANC but Zuma and most of them decided to either vote EFF or not vote at all. I can also guarantee you most petrol attendants don't have Internet access.

Sure it's biased to the fuel stations I visit, but more than not most of the working force is getting gatvol pretty quickly.

Those are not the people I am refering too they still make money and think.

I'm taking about the SABC masses we never hear about or see.

Ok, so you go for very generic "predictions" where these guys are actually trying to put percentages things...

You claim that these polls are bollocks, so mind putting a number to how far out you think they actually are?

I told you.

I can't give you number because as with the polls I don't have data and I am of the believe they have a miss representation of data due to this reason:

Bot sure what else to say or how else to put it?
