US EditionAmericans split on Trump’s action to remove Maduro: Poll
A CBS News/YouGov poll finds Americans split on U.S. military removal of Maduro, with approval linked to beliefs about U.S. goals and calls for congressional approval.
- A CBS News/YouGov survey conducted January 5-7, 2023, shows Americans divided over the U.S. military removal of Nicolás Maduro, based on 2,325 U.S. adults.
- Public views of administration motives — oil and power versus counter‑drug aims — account for many Americans thinking the Trump administration sought access to Venezuela's oil, which tends to produce disapproval, while those believing it targeted stopping drugs, gangs and terrorists are more approving.
- Support from MAGA Republicans — stronger than in November — helps explain the partisan split, as they overwhelmingly back the U.S. military operation and call it a military success.
- Demanding congressional approval, most Americans say Congress must approve further military action in Venezuela and 51% believe President Donald Trump should have sought authorization versus 23%.
- In the broader foreign‑policy context, 46% prefer non‑intervention in Latin America while only 29% say recent U.S. actions followed U.S. law, and 36% think Maduro’s overthrow benefits the U.S.
