Only about one in three Americans say they support U.S. military action in Venezuela, while roughly 70 percent express concern that the country is becoming too heavily involved, according to a new Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters.
The survey found that Democrats and independents are broadly opposed to U.S. involvement in Venezuela.
Support was significantly higher among Republicans. Sixty‑five percent said they back the idea of the United States taking control of Venezuela’s government, and 60 percent said they would support deploying U.S. troops to the South American country.
Nearly as many — 59 percent of Republicans — said they favor the United States taking control of Venezuela’s oil fields, the poll showed.
