ANO would win elections with 29 percent of vote in July, poll shows

The currently ruling ANO party, led by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, would win an election into the Chamber of Deputies with 29 percent of the vote, according to a poll conducted by the Public Opinion Research Centre (CVVM) conducted in July. The opposition Pirate Party would come in second with 14.5 percent of the vote, followed by the Civic Democrats who would receive 12 percent. In total, eight parties would get into the lower-house.

The Social Democrats, who are ANO’s current coalition partner, would receive 9.5 percent of the vote, slightly less than when measured in June. The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia would be voted by 7.5 percent of the electorate and the Christian Democrats by 6.5 percent. CVVM measured that the Freedom and Direct Democracy movement would receive 6 percent and the Mayors and Independents would scrape into the Chamber of Deputies with 5.5 percent.

The TOP 09 party would not be able to cross the 5 percent threshold to remain in the lower-house, according to the poll, as they would receive just 3.5 percent of the vote.
