Poll: Slovaks trust President the most

A poll conducted by the Focus agency in April has shown that people in Slovakia have the most trust in President Andrej Kiska (46.2 percent), Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (34.7 percent) and Parliamentary Chairman Andrej Danko (31.2 percent). The Chairmen of Opposition parties Freedom and Solidarity/SaS Richard Sulík (26.6 percent) and Most-Hid Béla Bugár (25.9 percent) also finished ahead of the Smer-SD leader and former Prime Minister Robert Fico on 23.1 percent. They were followed by Opposition OLaNO leader Igor Matovič (23 percent) and the chairman of the extra-parliamentary Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) Alojz Hlina (17.2 percent). The leader of the far-right LSNS Marián Kotleba enjoys the confidence of only 13.9 percent of Slovaks, and he is also viewed as the most untrustworthy politician, with 83.5 percent of the respondents expressing mistrust in him. Trust in politicians has fallen since the previous survey, with none of the aforementioned figures being trusted by more people than in January. Meanwhile, none of the politicians enjoy the trust of more than 50 percent of respondents.
