Prague poll shows overwhelming backing for right of centre parties

A separate pre-election poll by the SC&C and STEM agencies of Prague voting intentions showed right-leaning parties the clear favourites. The Civic Democrats came in first with support from 24.5 percent followed by TOP 09 on 21.5 percent. The Social Democrats came third with 17.0 percent, Public Affairs scored 13.5 percent and the Communists 6.0 percent. Of those questioned, 55 percent said they were certain to vote and 24 percent said they were likely to but 20 percent said they were unlikely or definitely would not cast their ballots. Only half of those questioned said they were resolutely decided on which party to back.
