The Morning Consult survey conducted for the pro-US energy Council for Secure America asked 2,202 Americans on Jan. 10-11: “As you may know, Venezuela is a known hub for Iranian and Hezbollah terror, including military drone production and narcoterrorism. Does this make you more or less likely to support American intervention in Venezuela?”

I’m surprised it isn’t 80% or higher.
When the people are informed, yes they agree. OTOH,it seems like half the country are not informed about Somali fraudsters.
Good to hear!!

Maybe anti ICE wave damped it..
You’re probably right. I think some tribalism is also involved.
They clearly had to grease the skids for the result they wanted with the claim they included in the question.

What kind of loaded leading bs question is “As you may know, Venezuela is a known hub for Iranian and Hezbollah terror, including military drone production and narcoterrorism. Does this make you more or less likely to support American intervention in Venezuela?”

Gotta love the neutral way they framed the question.
In reality when many protesters are told facts about what they are protesting against they either don’t believe it or are unaware....then there’s the protester that has to look at the sign he was provided to see what it is he’s protesting.
