While @TheChamp likes to rubbish polling, look at the 2024 polls, the ones quite close to the election got it pretty much spot on, except for a few percentage points here and there. This is of course much better than his preferred method, which seems to be based on soclal media vibes and Lesufi's X feed. He of course forgets to mention that he confidently predicted that the ANC would get 50% nationally and a majority in Gauteng.

It is as clear as daylight that the DA's Moonshot never got anywhere close to the 45% the highly accurate polls said they were going to get in Gauteng.

It also clear there is no 7% difference between the ANC and the DA as the polls claimed, the DA is also not the biggest party in urban areas as the polls claimed it will be.

You people should feel free to jump around in delusional joy at the polls but I don't know why you get offended when facts are put to you.

You're an idiot if you think being poor anywhere is okay.

Being poor in a rich country is infinitely better than being poor in a poor country.

One of the products we develop is used in the Woman Infant Child program in the US. (Gibsmedats for formula basically)
One of the things that got me was the fact that ensuring the system works well on the latest versions of Safari.

‘Tis an interesting combination of poor life choices and the sheer economic might of the US that people begging the government for baby formula regularly have newer iPhones than the software developers in the third world country writing the software they are using.

So you admit DA polls are rubbish, right?

Not necessarily. It depends when the polls were conducted. I read that the DA are conducting polls every 2 weeks in major metropolitan areas, but I agree the results published now are of limited value but will gain in value the closer it gets to the municipal election date.

SRF polling got it all within the margin of error of 4%
