Majority of Czechs want Klaus for president

Fifty seven percent of Czechs would like to see Vaclav Klaus re-elected president, according to the outcome of a poll conducted by the Median agency. Respondents were asked to choose between Mr. Klaus and four other candidates whose names have been floated in connection with the next year's presidential election. Under Czech law the president is elected by both houses of Parliament. Although several names have been floated no strong rival for Mr. Klaus has yet emerged.
