Government's support continues to slump

The main opposition bloc, the SDK, would win national elections if they were held now, an opinion poll released on April 23 showed.The poll, conducted by the private FOCUS agency over the first two weeks of April, put support for the five opposition parties grouped in the SDK at 24.5 percent, ahead of the governing HZDS party, which captured 21.9 percent.While one of Prime Minister Vladimír Mečiar's governing coalition members, the right-wing nationalist Slovak National Party (SNS), would garner 7.0 percent of the popular vote, the ultra-left Association of Slovak Workers (ZRS) did not come anywhere near reaching the five-percent threshold needed for parliamentary representation, gaining only 2.6 percent.
