In its research, the Public Opinion Research Center focused on the coronavirus crisis and citizens' experiences with it. In July, more than three quarters (77%) of Czech citizens over the age of 15 were interested in the situation regarding the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

66% of Czech citizens consider what the Czech state is doing against the spread of coronavirus to be appropriate, and 50% consider measures to support the economy to be appropriate.

In July 2020 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.

43% of Czechs trust the president, 41% trust the government.

The Chamber of Deputies has the confidence of 32% and the Senate of 36% of the public.

18% of Czech citizens declare satisfaction with political situation, 43% are dissatisfied.

In a survey conducted by Public Opinion Research Centre in July 2020, we investigated how people trust to 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 in 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.
