Social Democrats close gap on Civic Democrats

A new poll indicates that the biggest party in the coalition government, the Civic Democrats are losing ground to the opposition Social Democrats. The survey conducted by the STEM research agency suggests that the Civic Democrats are still the most popular party in the country with 29.2 percent of the vote, ahead of the Social Democrats who have 24.9 percent. Nevertheless the Civic Democrats' lead over their main rivals has dropped from eight percent last month to just over four percent this month. According to the poll, the Greens are the third most popular party in the country with 11.6 percent of the vote followed by the Communists with 10.9 percent and the Christian Democrats with 6.6 percent. The survey suggests that no other party would cross the five-percent threshold needed to gain seats in parliament.
