# The Institute of Race Relations says women voters could be key in determining the outcome of the local government elections on 4 November. Its latest poll shows the ANC still has stronger support among women, with 37-percent backing the party compared to 26-percent for the DA. The poll also indicates that 82-percent of women want the government to focus more on creating jobs than social grants. The Institute’s Hermann Pretorius says parties offering jobs and household security could challenge ANC support among women.
