21.07.2008 - Most Czechs still against U.S. radar - poll
About one-quarter of Czechs are for the project.
The results are largely the same as a month ago, CVVM said.
Some 68 percent Czechs are against the radar base, while 23 percent are for it, it added.
The proportion of those against it has been oscillating between 61 and 70 percent since 2006.
The proportion of those advocating it has never crossed 30 percent.
Voters of the governing Civic Democratic Party (ODS) that is for the project tend to favour the radar, while the rest of the voters, most notably the leftist ones, are against it.

Czech ODS prefers lower social insurance payments, to keep taxes ... more often for the radar, while the elderly, people with lower education and those seeing their living standards as "neither bad nor good" are against it.
The United States wants to build the radar base on the Brdy military grounds, 90 km southwest of Prague, and a base with ten interceptor missiles in Poland within its missile shield.
The Central European elements are to protect the United States and a large part of the European continent against missiles that states like Iran might launch.
