Poll suggests six parties could make it into Chamber of Deputies

A new poll released by Factum Invenio suggests that six political parties would make it into the Chamber of Deputies if the election were held today. The poll put the Social Democrats top in terms of voter preference, with 27.4 percent, the right-of-second Civic Democrats second, with 23 percent, and the Communist Party third, with 14.4 percent. The three additional parties that would pass the necessary five percent threshold are TOP 09, with 11.8, the newcomer Public Affairs at 7.8, and the Christian Democrats at 6.2 percent. The survey suggests that the Greens would come up just short (4.7 percent).

According to Factum Invenio’s research, the current results would not translate into a majority government for either the political Right or Left. The survey also estimated that almost 64 percent of Czechs could go to the polls. The actual election will take place at the end of May.
