New Survey Asks 1,000 Americans about U.S. Actions in Venezuela

What do Americans think about the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro? What role should the U.S. have in deciding how the country is governed? The Washington Post texted 1,004 Americans to ask.

The Post poll finds Americans are almost evenly split between approval and disapproval of the U.S. sending forces to capture Maduro, though most say the operation should have required congressional approval. The public is also skeptical about the U.S. taking control of Venezuela’s government or deciding its leadership.

The poll is a snapshot of the public’s initial reactions to the Venezuela operation during the weekend when many were first learning of the events, with 6 in 10 respondents saying they heard at least “a good amount” about the operation.
