People seem to trust the president more than other national political institutions. In the context of semi-presidential regimes, it is plausible that the role of the president being "above party politics" is an explanatory factor behind this pattern. This study challenges the argument by analysing the impact of citizens' party preferences and attitudes towards the political system on trust in president in select CEE countries. The results confirm that trust in president is often context specific and cannot be disassociated from partisan factors. In general, similar patterns are found between trust in president and trust in prime minister
