TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS
The data demonstrates that a majority of voters think that both the ANC and DA are performing well in the GNU. Pluralities of voters also think that the PA, IFP and VF+ are generally performing well inside of the GNU. This is consistent with the popularity that the GNU enjoys in broader South African society - a popularity that Foundation reports have set out in much further detail.
