Poll: Social Democrats have seven-percent lead over governing Civic Democrats

According to a poll conducted by the Median agency, if an election had been held last month, it would have been won by the opposition Social Democrats with around 36% of the vote. The Civic Democrats, who are currently in power, would have come second with a 29% share of the vote. The Communists would have received 15% of the votes cast, while the Greens would have come fourth with a 6.5% share of the electorate. Median suggested that October elections would have had a turnout of nearly 60%, which is 5% lower than the real turnout at last year's elections for the Czech Lower House.
