New polling reveals a divided American public on a dramatic foreign policy question: capturing Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro.
According to a CBS News survey, U.S. adults are split over whether the United States should detain the former Venezuelan president. The poll asked specifically about supporting his "capture."
Anthony Salvanto, CBS News executive director of elections and surveys, reported the findings. He did not specify the exact margin of division.
The poll highlights the complex public opinion surrounding direct action against the controversial leader. Maduro leads a government widely accused of authoritarianism and human rights abuses.
The U.S. has previously imposed severe sanctions on his regime.
