"Driving the news: Nearly three-quarters of Republicans said they somewhat or strongly supported the U.S. using military force to invade Venezuela in a YouGov poll released Wednesday and conducted after last weekend's shocking operation. That's a sharp increase from just days prior. In an Economist-YouGov survey conducted Jan. 2-5 (Trump announced the operation Jan. 3) 53% of Republicans said they'd support such military force. In a Dec. 20-22 poll, that figure was at 43%. Back in September and October, only about three in ten Republicans said they would support military action targeting Venezuela. An even larger share of Republicans (78%) now say they approve of using military force to capture Maduro, per the YouGov survey."
"Zoom out: Across all U.S. adult citizens surveyed, just over half (51%) somewhat or strongly oppose the country using military force to invade Venezuela. 46% disapproved of the U.S. using the military to capture Maduro. A recent Reuters-Ipsos poll similarly found far greater GOP support for the U.S. military action to remove Maduro (65%) compared to Democrats (11%) and all adults (33%). There was more agreement across party lines on Venezuela's future: 49% of Democrats and 48% of Republicans said a new election should happen next in Venezuela."
Nearly three-quarters of Republicans said they somewhat or strongly supported the U.S. using military force to invade Venezuela, according to a YouGov poll conducted after a recent operation. Republican support rose from 53% in a Jan. 2-5 Economist-YouGov survey and 43% in a Dec. 20-22 poll; fall surveys showed about 30% support. Seventy-eight percent of Republicans approve using military force to capture Maduro. Across all U.S. adults, 51% opposed an invasion and 46% opposed capturing Maduro. A Reuters-Ipsos poll found 65% GOP support versus 11% among Democrats, while both parties favored a new election.
