The October survey of CVVM was focused on budget issues. Respondents were giving their opinion whether a better way of decreasing of current deficit would be reduction of budgetary expenditures, or increase of state’s revenues. Then they picked areas where the cuts in budgetary outlays should be made in preference, and on the other hand areas, which should be spared of any restrictions. The survey also examined people’s views of planned deficit of 135 billion CZK for 2011.
