The president has been the most trustworthy constitutional institution in the long term and he enjoys trust expressed by almost three quarters of Czech citizens at this time. In the beginning of March the Government was found trustworthy by more than a third of Czechs. In comparism to previous month number of those who trust to Government has increased. Currently 23 % of Czech public find Chamber of Deputies trustworthy , while a quarter of people (25 %) confide in Senate.

20 % of citizens regard taxation on high-income earners as high, 24 % say it is adequate and 43 % think it is low.

In March survey CVVM investigated how people trust to political Parties and whether they are willing to take part in elections to Chamber of Deputies. In the press release there are two different types of information : Party preference and a model of voting behaviour.

Party preferences give us information about public sympathy with political Parties in the group of citizens who have voting right and there is also included a part of citizens who will not take part in elections or they do not knot who to vote for.

The most urgent problem is supposed to be corruption closely followed by health care and economic criminality. Common criminality, unemployment, social security and functioning of economy are other areas which are considered by majority of public to be very urgent to deal with.

As a part of February survey there were also some questions focused on interest of Czech citizens in political events in their country as well in the world, involvement of Czech citizens in political and public life, respondents´ attitudes to public activities leading to legislative changes and public opinions of chances that people have to influence public events.
