The Czech Social Democrats, who pushed through a last-minute increase in welfare spending in the 2010 state budget, widened their lead over the Civic Democrats less than three weeks before general elections, a poll showed.
Support for the Social Democrats dropped to 26.2 percent in April, from 27 percent in the previous month, Prague-based polling company Median said today in a statement. The Civic Democrats fell to 19 percent, from 21.2 percent in March.
