PRAGUE (Reuters) - Public support for the centre-right Czech ruling party dropped to an all-time low after a bribery and spying scandal that forced Prime Minister Petr Necas to resign, an opinion poll showed on Friday.

Necas quit on Monday after his closest aide was taken into custody and seven other people were charged as part of a wider police campaign against graft.
