Wall Street Journal: “Voters are divided on the Jan. 3 military action, with 49% approving and 47% disapproving of the raid in which U.S. Special Forces bombed targets in Caracas and captured Maduro and his wife, transporting them to the U.S. to face narco-terrorism charges.”

“There is a stark partisan divide—89% of Republicans support the operation, while 86% of Democrats disapprove.”

“A majority of voters rejected deeper U.S. involvement in Venezuela. Respondents opposed having the U.S. ‘run the country’ by 57% to 39%, suggesting little appetite for an open-ended U.S. role or nation-building mission.”

1. I disagree

This goes against other polls that I've seen on the issue. Plus, most Americans think that Venezuela is in Africa.
