Kantar poll: ANO in the lead followed by Spolu coalition

A newly published May poll of political parties in Czechia by the Kantar agency put the opposition ANO party in first place with 29.5 percent of the hypothetical vote for seats in the lower-house of Parliament, followed by the Spolu coalition made up of the Civic Democrats, the Christian Democrats and the TOP 09 party who would have a combined vote of 28.5 percent. When compared to the previous month, Spolu’s preferences among the public went down by 5 percent. Meanwhile, ANO increased its polling by 1 percent when compared to April.

The same increase was also registered by the Mayors and Independents coalition, which Kantar polled at 12.5 percent. The Freedom and Direct Democracy came in fourth with 11.5 percent of the vote, followed by the Social Democrats who would receive 5 percent of the vote, meaning that they would get back into the Chamber of Deputies if one discounts the possibility of a statistical error.

The results of the poll were announced by Czech Television on Sunday.
