Thirty-two percent Czech respondents assessed the country’s economic situation good and 24 percent assessed it as bad.
Living conditions are good according to 49 percent of Czechs, while only 14 percent believe they are bad.
Over 20 percent of Czechs expect the living conditions and economic situation further to improve, the poll showed.
In Poland, the economic situation and living conditions were assessed positively by 29 and 46 percent of people, respectively.
Positive assessments prevailed among the Polish respondents, like among the Czechs.
In Slovakia and Hungary, negative assessments prevailed.
