Poll: two-thirds of Czechs want Klaus for second term

A new poll conducted by the STEM agency has suggested that two-thirds of Czechs want Vaclav Klaus to be re-elected to a second term as the country's president. The election is to take place in roughly four months. 66 percent of those queried told pollsters they were in favour of Mr Klaus's re-election, while 68 percent said they did not think the opposition would be able to field a strong contender. The opposition Social Democrats have been trying to agree on a joint-candidate with some of the smaller parties in parliament.
