Poll: confidence in president falls by five percent

A poll conducted by the CVVM agency has suggested that trust in the president fell by five percent in October compared to June. Although 66 percent of respondents expressed confidence in President Vaclav Klaus this month, those are the lowest numbers the president has posted this year: five percent less than in June. By comparison, the government was viewed favourably in the poll by 33 percent of Czechs, the lower house 25 percent, and the Senate 27 percent. The level of confidence in these institutions has not changed substantially in the last few months.
