Poll: number of people pleased with political situation still low but on the rise

A new opinion poll suggests that the number of people in the Czech Republic who are satisfied with the political situation is on the rise. Although the study indicates that only 24 percent of the population was happy last month, it is three percent higher than the month before and eight percent higher than in January. In the poll conducted by the STEM agency, 68 percent of respondents were pleased with the performance of President Vaclav Klaus. The support for the government was much lower, 34 percent, and only 32 percent for Parliament.
