Trump's Venezuela Raid Fails to Shift Public Opinion, Poll Shows

A recent U.S. military operation targeting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro did not change American voters' views. According to a new CBS News/YouGov poll, public approval of President Donald Trump’s handling of Venezuela stayed the same. The poll measured opinion after a reported raid in early May. U.S. authorities said the operation aimed to capture Maduro. The Venezuelan government said it stopped a mercenary invasion. Despite the high-profile event, Trump’s rating on Venezuela policy held firm. It continues to closely match his overall job approval rating. This suggests the incident did not significantly alter existing political divisions. The survey was conducted from May 6 to May 8. It included interviews with 2,100 U.S. residents.
