Support for United States intervention in Venezuela continues to rise and already reaches 50% of the population, according to the third installment of the Venezuela Situation Monitor, prepared by the firm Iceberg. The survey reflects a deep change in the country's social mood, marked by the exhaustion of the Chavista cycle and a growing demand for political transformation.
According to the study, 50% of respondents consider United States intervention positive, compared with 29% who evaluate it negatively, while 21% do not express a defined position. In parallel, explicit support for the idea of "overthrowing Nicolás Maduro through a United States intervention" rises to 38%, a figure that confirms the loss of legitimacy of the regime and the fragmentation of traditional alternatives.
The poll also shows that 31% of Venezuelans support Maduro's departure, although without Washington's direct involvement, while only 20% believe that the former president should have completed his term. The combination of these data demonstrates a broad consensus around the need for a change of course, even though differences persist regarding the mechanisms to achieve it.
Expectations for the future accompany this shift. 53% of respondents believe that Venezuela will be better in the next three months, a significant jump from the 40% recorded in the previous measurement. In the medium term, optimism is even greater: 65% project an improvement in the next two years, compared with 54% the previous week. Only 16% anticipate a deterioration in the short term and just 8% in the two-year horizon.
