A recent national poll by Quinnipiac University revealed that 63% of American voters reject any type of military intervention in Venezuela. The study highlights that only 25% of those surveyed would support such operations, in a context of increasing diplomatic and naval pressure on the South American country. The division of opinion on the use of force follows very marked partisan lines, as learned by the Argentine News Agency. 53% of respondents expressed their opposition to direct attacks on vessels suspected of transporting drugs, operations that have left a death toll of at least 95 since last September. This citizen disapproval comes as President Donald Trump ordered a total blockade on all sanctioned oil tankers linked to Caracas. For many critics and bipartisan lawmakers, these measures—justified by Washington as an anti-narcotics effort—could be a veiled attempt at regime change, also questioning the legality of military attacks in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific. The Quinnipiac poll was conducted between December 11 and 15 among 1,035 registered voters across the United States, with a margin of error of approximately 3.9 percentage points.
