"Trump seems to have ordered his Venezuela venture in part to flip the script away from domestic matters, where things aren't going well for him. His approval ratings are under water, and he's getting low marks on the economy, health policy (just 30% approval), inflation (31% approval on the cost of living), his immigration crackdown (41% approval) and his sending the national guard into US cities."
"A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that just 33% of Americans support his military strike in Venezuela, with 72% saying they're worried the US will become too involved there. The US attacked Venezuela on 3 January, and an Economist/YouGov poll from 2-5 January found that among US men, Trump's approval rating rose 4 percentage points from the previous week, while it fell by 5 points among women."
Donald Trump ordered a military strike in Venezuela that critics said violated international law and the US War Powers Resolution. The strike appeared intended to shift attention from declining domestic approval and policy setbacks, including low marks on health policy (30%), cost-of-living inflation (31%), immigration crackdown (41%), and tariffs that raised prices. A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed 33% support for the strike and 72% worried about overinvolvement. An Economist/YouGov poll found approval rose 4 points among men but fell 5 points among women. Prominent MAGA figures criticized the action as a betrayal of no-more-wars promises.
