A new poll shows that only 28 percent of Hungarians believe that life is better for them today than it was under communism, which fell 20 years ago. But Poles, Czechs and Slovaks are more satisfied.

The poll was carried out in the four central European countries by the research institute TNS OBOP and the findings presented Friday in Warsaw by the think tank Institute of Public Affairs.

Institute director Jacek Kucharczyk attributes Hungarians' lack of satisfaction to the severe economic crisis that has afflicted the country.

According to the survey, 59 percent of Poles believe life in their country is better today, while 68 percent of Czechs and 53 percent of Slovaks feel that way.

The survey gave a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
