Prime Minister Andrej Babi\u0161 remains the most popular politician in the government, but his popularity is in decline. Forty-five percent of respondents approve of Babis; in January, it was 48 percent. Finance Minister Alena Schillerov\u00e1 (ANO) finished second in popularity, supported by forty percent of respondents. In third place, with thirty-nine percent favorable rating is Pirate leader Ivan Barto\u0161.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Andrej Babi\u0161 remains the best-ranked Czech politician, but his popularity continues to weaken. His opponents are considerably higher than his supporters,” said STEM’s June survey. While at the beginning of the year, the ratio of favorable and unfavorable ratings of Babis was 48 percent to 51 percent, now it is 45 percent versus 54 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Prime Minister’s lead over other political leaders is also lower than in the past. The survey conducted after the European Commission’s preliminary audits on the possible conflict of interests of the Prime Minister and during the protests against Babi\u0161. Nevertheless, the position of Prime Minister is stable among the ANO supporters, and almost all of them evaluate it positively, STEM analysts added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared to the previous survey, Alena Schillerov\u00e1 and the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Jana Mal\u00e1\u010dov\u00e1 (\u010cSSD), who has a favorable rating among thirty-seven percent of respondents, improved. SPD chairman Tomio Okamura and Environment Minister Richard Brabec (ANO) have a similar share of supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bene\u0161 is evaluated negatively by half of the people. The least known member of the government is Transport Minister Vladimir Kremlik (ANO), who has been in office since April. Sixty percent of people surveyed don’t know who he is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister of Justice, Marie Bene\u0161ov\u00e1 (ANO), against whom tens of thousands of people demonstrated, has the support of a third of those surveyed. Half of the respondents view her negatively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the opposition politicians in the top ten rankings, alongside the third Barto\u0161 and the fifth Okamura, was the tenth chairman of the ODS, Petr Fiala, who is positively evaluated by 27 percent of the people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The survey was conducted from 14 to 30 June on a sample of more than a thousand respondents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
