Social Democrats conserve lead in new survey

The Social Democrats remain in the lead in a new election survey by the Median agency released on Friday. The party would receive 32 percent of the vote, followed by the Communists with 15.5 percent. The conservative former coalition party TOP 09 would came in third with 15 percent while the Civic Democrats would receive 13.5 percent of the vote. The president’s SPOZ group would win around 5 percent. The survey suggests that the Christian Democrats, the Greens and other parties would not pass the 5-percent threshold to enter the lower house. Over 63 percent of those polled said they would take part in the election.
