# The Institute of Race Relations says the DA has surpassed the ANC for the first time in its polling public opinion. The DA at 30.3-percent edges past the ANC at 29.7-percent in the poll, with the budget proposal to raise the VAT contributing significantly to this shift. The IRR says the DA’s support among black voters has surged from five to 18-percent, demonstrating the political potential for the party to grow its support across traditional divides. The full results of the poll will be released tomorrow.
