Polls suggest dissatisfaction over post-election developments at record high

A new poll released by the STEM agency has suggested that a majority of Czechs are dissatisfied with the continuing political deadlock. According to the poll, only sixteen percent of respondents said they were happy with performance by the government as well as Parliament. Another poll, conducted by CVVM, showed the number even lower: at just eight percent.

The highest satisfaction with the government in recent years came in 2002 - shortly after the country was hit by catastrophic floods; the lowest was then during the leadership of former Prime Minister Stanislav Gross, who faced allegations of irregularities in his personal finances.
