For several months already Czech citizens have been expressing the highest level of confidence in the president of our country. In June survey he was regarded as trustworthy by almost three quarters of the respondents. A drop in the public’s confidence concerned according to our survey mainly the Czech government, now trusted by only a quarter of Czech citizens. The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate are regarded by the inhabitants of our country as even slightly less trustworthy.
Citizens’ confidence in regional and local councils remains relatively stable. While the regional councils are trusted on a long-term basis by approximately two fifths of interviewees, local councils enjoy confidence of three fifths. A higher level of confidence towards all monitored constitutional institutions is expressed by people with good living standard and – with the exception of local councils – also young people aged between 15 and 19 years. ODS voters relatively more often confide in the president of the country and their local council, ČSSD voters trust the government and the Chamber of Deputies and KDU-ČSL voters confide more in the government and their regional council.
