New poll suggests growing support for ANO party

A new poll of voters' preferences suggests growing support for the coalition ANO paty. The survey, conducted by the Median agency in October, suggests that 24.5 percent of voters would back ANO, up from 22 percent recorded in a previous poll in August. The senior coalition Social Democrats would come second with 21 percent, followed by the Communists with 15 percent and the opposition TOP 09 and Civic Democrat parties with 10.5 and 8 percent, respectively. The Christian Democrats and the Dawn party would also pass the five-percent threshold to enter the lower house.
