Poll: ruling coalition would have four more seats today

A new opinion poll suggests that the ruling coalition, which is currently struggling with a weak 100 of the 200 seats in the lower house of Parliament, would gain four more seats if elections were held tomorrow. In the poll, conducted by the STEM agency this month, the Civic Democrats would win 74 seats, the Greens 21 seats, and the Christian Democrats nine seats.

The opposition Social Democrats would be allocated 67 seats and the Communists 29. The poll indicates that the Civic Democrats' popularity is on a slight rise, while that of the opposition Social Democrats is on a slight decline - widening the popularity gap between the two largest parties from one to two percent.
