The results of a new poll released by the STEM agency have revealed
that if elections were held today the three-party coalition proposed by
the right-of-centre Civic Democrats would gain a clear majority in the
lower house: 118 seats. The survey suggests that the Civic Democrats
would win 83, the Social Democrats 52, the Communist Party 30, the
Green Party 22, and the Christian Democrats 13. The difference in voter
support between the Civic and Social Democrats, say analysts, has
narrowed since the beginning of December.
