The right-wing Civic Democratic Party (ODS) would, if elections were held now, win more votes than any other single party, closely followed by the opposition four- member coalition of centre-right parties, a poll published on Wednesday shows.
The Sofres-Factum agency, which conducted the poll, found that the ODS is supported by 20.5 % of Czech voters and would likely win over 28 % of electoral votes, while the opposition four-member coalition - consisting of the Freedom Union, the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL), the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA) and the Democratic Union (DEU) - would on a joint ticket win about 26 % of electoral votes.
The minority ruling Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD), whose current cabinet is enabled by the ODS under a written power-sharing agreement, is now the second most popular single political party after the ODS, according to Sofres-Factum. The left opposition Communists (KSCM) remain in third place among single parties, behind the CSSD. The KSCM is now supported by 13.5 % of the Czech electorate, which, under the current election system, would give them 17.7 % of electoral votes.
The two strongest members of the opposition four-member coalition, the Freedom Union and the KDU-CSL, individually have 8.6 % and 8.3 % respectively among Czech voters. This means that if they ran on separate tickets, they each would win just under 11 % of electoral votes according to the current Czech election system. The poll found support for parties without representation in parliament to be too low for any of them to be able to enter the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the Czech Parliament.
The two smaller members of the opposition four-member coalition, the DEU, which currently has no representation in parliament, and the ODA, which is only currently represented in the Senate, would, according to Sofres-Factum's calculations, each win just slightly over 2 % of votes, well under the minimum amount they would need to be able to enter the Chamber of Deputies.
The amount of undecided Czech voters also remains high. At present, 22.3 % of potential voters say they do not know for whom they will cast their ballots in the next elections to the Chamber, which are not scheduled to take place until 2002. Of those surveyed, 70.9 % said they would most likely take part in the elections.
