In June 2021 the Public Opinion Research Centre included two questions related to the discussed topic of the so-called Instabul Convention. Specifically, we investigated whether the respondents knew what this Convention was concerned and whether, in their opinion, the Czech Parliament should had or had not have approved the Istanbul Convention.

In the June 2021 survey the Public Opinion Research Centre examined two questions related to evaluation of material living conditions of respondent's households, and to expectation of development of these conditions in this year.

A half (51%) of Czechs evaluates material living conditions of their households as good, 39% think they are neither good, nor bad and 10% consider them to be bad.

In June 2021, citizens of the Czech Republic evaluated how satisfied they are with the situation in 30 selected areas of public life.

The best evaluated areas are the selection of goods and services (70% satisfied), healthcare and transport services (both 52%). The worst evaluated items are corruption (65% dissatisfied), political situation (59%), public finances (56%), and economic crime (55%).

In June 2021 the Public Opinion Research Centre of the Institute of Sociology the Czech Academy of Sciences investigated whether respondents trust to selected politicians. They were given a list with 20 names of top politicians who represent political parties present in the Chamber of Deputies.

In June 2021 within the regular survey the Public Opinion Research Centre questioned respondents about their confidence in constitutional institutions. In this month there was a question about their trust to the Chambers of Parliament, the President, the Government, and Local and Regional Councils.

29% of Czechs trust the president, 28% trust the government.

In a survey conducted by Public Opinion Research Centre in June 2021, we investigated how people trust political Parties and whether they are willing to take part in elections to the Chamber of Deputies. In the press release, there are two different types of information: the likely voter model and the party preferences.

The likely voter model indicates the anticipated result of hypothetical elections to the Chamber of Deputies at the time of conducting the survey.

The party preferences give us information about public sympathy for 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 know who to vote for.

In connection with the spread of the new type of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, approximately four-fifths of Czech citizens over the age of 18 are concerned about the health of their loved ones (81%), health care restrictions outside COVID-19 (80%), almost three-fifths of insufficient hospital capacity ( 57%), about half of their health (52%) and slightly more than a fifth of the collapse of supply (21%).

Only a relative majority of Czech citizens, at a level of just over two-fifths, evaluate what the Czech state has done against the spread of coronavirus as appropriate, and a little more than a third consider measures to support the economy to be appropriate.

Compared to February 2021, the assessment of the state's response to the pandemic has imroved significantly, when assessing the effectiveness of measures against the spread of coronavirus, but this assessment still remains much worse than it was back in December 2020.

In April Public Opinion Research Centre focused on vaccination against COVID-19. Approximately three-fifths of respondents (59%) expressed willingness to be vaccinated against COVID-19. About a quarter (26 %) of respondents took a negative attitude towards vaccination against COVID-19. One tenth (10 %) stated they were already vaccinated.
