The ANC poll, which was conducted in March and April, places the DA at 17 % and the EFF at 11%.
ANC Gauteng elections head Lebogang Maile said the party was confident it would retain the province with an overwhelming majority.
He said the party had started dealing with a number of issues, including corruption, which had been raised by its supporters.
"We are now beginning to see action [by President Cyril Ramaphosa]," said Maile.
He said the firing of senior NPA prosecutors Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi were an example of action by Ramaphosa.
Maile also cautioned his ANC counterparts in the national office, saying they must desist from engaging in public spats during this critical period.
"We would like to call our leaders to refrain from engaging each other in public. Engage issues within the structures of the organisation," said Maile.
He was responding to questions on whether the party was worried that recent public statements by secretary-general Ace Magashule would chase away voters.
Maile said the ANC had learned to admit its mistakes and speak openly about them.
