Western Cape Voters’ Perceptions on Whether The Future Is More Secure Under The DA Or More Secure Under Another Party
This report examines the perceptions of registered voters in the Western Cape on whether they believe that their future is more secure under the DA or if another political party could do far better in the Western Cape than the DA. The data in the report comes from a July 2023 Foundation survey. The survey was conducted telephonically amongst a sample of 2 590 geographically and demographically representative registered voters in the Western Cape. The survey has a provincial margin of error of 2.9%. Totals may not add up to 100% where rounding has occurred.

Tentative Conclusions
The data reveals that about two thirds of registered voters in the Western Cape believe that their futures are more secure under the DA. Just less than a third of registered voters in the Western Cape believe that another political party could do better in the Western Cape than the DA if given the chance. However, as Foundation reports 27/2023, 31/2023 and 32/2023 reveal, the data splits across socio-economic strata voters in higher strata being considerably more confident about the DA than voters in lower strata.
