Poll has ANO clear winners in elections, Christian Democrats far below cutoff

Opposition leaders ANO would have come first in elections to the Czech lower house in September with 30.5 percent of the vote, suggests a poll conducted by the Median agency published on Wednesday. Government leaders the Civic Democrats would have finished second on 16 percent, the survey indicates. Freedom and Direct Democracy had 11.5 percent support and the Pirate Party had 11 percent.

TOP 09 and the Mayors were hovering just above the 5-percent cutoff and the Christian Democrats were some way below it on 2.5 percent.
