Poll: Gross' departure will help the country, Paroubek largely unknown

A flash poll conducted by the STEM agency has suggested that over 70 percent of Czechs think that Mr Gross' resignation will benefit the country, with 28 percent holding the opposite view. The poll also suggests that only 27 percent of respondents think his successor, Jiri Paroubek, is trustworthy - 38 percent think he is not. Roughly a third of respondents say they are not familiar with the incoming prime minister at all.
