Shortly before the 2006 parliamentary elections the Institute for Public Affairs conducted a survey that mapped the social and political climate in Slovakia. The fieldwork has been carried out by the FOCUS agency in April 2006 on a representative sample of 1,242 Slovak citizens older than 18.
The survey - supported by the Open Society Foundation - focused on following topics:
-
How does the public perceive the direction in which the Slovak society is heading?
-
How do citizens perceive reforms currently underway?
-
Which problems are viewed as the most pressing by citizens?
-
Voter participation
-
Firmness of voting preferences
-
What are the mutual sympathies and antipathies between particular parties’ supporters?
-
Distance from other parties
-
Least likely coalition bonds according to parties’ supporters
-
Credibility of politicians
