Poll: Czechs would welcome Klaus re-election

A new poll by the SC&C agency suggests that two thirds of Czechs wish that President Vaclav Klaus be re-elected for a second term as head of state. According to the poll, President Klaus, who is 65, enjoys the strongest support among voters of the current centre-right government coalition of the Civic Democrats, the Christian Democrats and the Greens. Women, people with university education and younger people prevail among his supporters. The Czech President is elected by both houses of parliament. The next election is to be held in early 2008.
