ZAGREB, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic is the most popular politician in the country, N1 TV reported on Sunday citing the latest regular poll on social and political preference in Croatia.

After five months when most people couldn't single out the most positive politician but instead chose "No One", Croatian president is on the top with 19.2 percent votes. "No One" falls to the second place (18.7 percent), while Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic stayed in the third place with 10.9 percent votes.

The prime minister is also on the list of "the most negative politicians" where he ranked on top with 21.1 percent votes. The second place is shared by "all politicians" as a separate response category, while the third position is held by an opposition leader Davor Bernardic (9.5 percent).

The ruling conservative party Croatian Democratic Union is still the most popular party in the country. If elections were held today, it would get 29.3 percent votes, a little bit more than 29 percent polled in the last month's survey.

Over the past year, the ruling party "lost" 4.7 percentage points of electoral support. Social-democrats, the biggest opposition party in the country, has more support today than last month (21.1 percent compared to 20.6 percent in January), but compared to Feb. 2017, it lost 1.2 percentage points.

The biggest winner is Croatia's anti-establishment Living Wall party that has the support of 11.8 percent, a rise of 5.8 percentage points in a year.

In this month's survey, 67.7 percent of respondents believe that Croatia is "going in the wrong direction", compared to 67.3 percent in January.
