Government's program 43% of Czechs evaluate positively, 34% hold the opposite stance. Communication with public is seen positively by 42% of Czechs, 45% evaluate it negatively. Personal composition of Babis' government (34% satisfied / 48% dissatisfied) is area in which we found predominantly critical evaluation of public.

In a survey conducted by Public Opinion Research Centre in February 2018, 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 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.
