14% of citizens are satisfied with the political situation, 55% are dissatisfied, and 30% are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. More than half of the public is interested in politics (56%, of whom 11% are “very” interested).
The Czech public placed the greatest trust in the president and mayors. Sixty percent of citizens trusted the president, 25% did not, and 14% answered “somewhat.”
The balance of trust in the government was heavily negative, with 25% expressing trust compared to 46% who did not trust it, and another 28% stating “somewhat neutral.”
Institutions at the local level fared significantly better in the trust comparison: 56% trusted the mayor of their municipality or city district, while 16% did not; a majority of citizens (52%) also trusted the municipal council, and 15% did not.
The Chamber of Deputies fared less well, with a significant proportion of respondents choosing the middle option: 20% expressed trust, 41% distrusted it, and nearly two-fifths (37%) of citizens felt “somewhat” trusting.
In the case of the Senate, we see a predominance of positive responses (39% trust, 28% distrust).
The undecided “somewhat” stance was also more pronounced regarding trust in regional councils, where just under two-fifths of citizens (38%) reported being “somewhat” in the middle; a comparable proportion stated they trust regional councils (37%), while 15% expressed distrust.
Regional governors also received very similar ratings (37% trust them, 19% do not trust them, 35% are undecided).
