MK support down as Zuma disappears from stump — new big poll
GlobeAlert Desk · curated from dailymaverick · south africa · Sub-Saharan Africa
A new Ipsos poll, released on Friday, 30 October, points to the three major stories of the election campaign surveys: the continued decline of the ANC, the growth of the DA (but not as high as it wants) and the growth of MK (but stunted by Jacob Zuma’s illness and shenanigans in the party).
