Poll: Social Democrats would win general elections if held now

The Social Democrats would win a general election if it were held right now, suggests a poll conducted by the Median agency and released on Wednesday. Almost 36 percent of respondents said that they would vote for Jiří Paroubek’s Social Democrats, while the Civic Democrats would garner 28 percent of the vote. The Social Democrats finished second in this weekend’s elections to the European Parliament behind former Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek’s Civic Democrats. The poll found that the Communist Party and the Christian Democrats would also cross the five-percent threshold necessary to gain parliamentary representation.
