"There have been four recent polls that measure party support at the national level. They provide a broad look at the state of the big parties & they all tell the same story of ANC decline, DA growth and MK drift." @paulyberk on what polling at the national level is telling us.

If you're interested in influencing the elections outcome, now is about the time to loudly declare who you support + the time to start activating turnout all around you. Turnout will be CRITICAL. Like really, super, insanely, unbelievably important. Get everyone activated.
