Poll: Deputy leader of Social Democrats most popular politician, prime minister’s popularity suffers steep decline

According to a fresh poll by the STEM agency, Jiří Dienstbier, deputy leader of the opposition Social Democrats, remains the most popular Czech politician. He is followed by three other members of his party, among them the Social Democrat leader Bohuslav Sobotka; virtually no members of the current government coalition rank high in the recent popularity poll. Prime Minister Petr Nečas’s popularity with voters has declined steeply: He lost about a third of his supporters, as compared to the previous poll. The prime minister came in 13th in the current ranking.
