President’s popularity rises in December

Public confidence in Czech president Miloš Zeman climbed to 59 percent in December, a jump of three percentage points since November, according to a poll published Wednesday by the CCVM agency. Over the same period confidence in the government slipped two percentage points to 44 percent. The most trusted public institutions are local councils with around two thirds of Czechs saying they have faith in them. President Zeman made a controversial appearance together with anti-Islamic activists in mid-November last year.
