A new Yahoo/YouGov poll finds Americans split over whether they approve (40%) or disapprove (38%) of the U.S. military operation that toppled Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro earlier this month. Nearly a quarter (22%) say they’re unsure how to feel.
But the public is much more certain about what they want — or rather, don’t want — to happen next. With Maduro gone, President Trump has said that the United States is "going to run the country” of Venezuela from afar, insisting that "we’re in charge" now.
“Only time will tell” how long U.S. control of Venezuela lasts, the president mused in a recent interview with the New York Times. When asked to provide some sort of time frame — three months? six months? a year? — he waved those suggestions away.
“I would say much longer,” Trump replied.
There’s only one problem: Just 25% of Americans say they approve of the U.S. being “in charge” of Venezuela at all (let alone being in charge for years). More than twice as many — a 55% majority — disapprove.
A full 63% of Americans, meanwhile, say they’re concerned the U.S. is getting “too involved” in the South American country. Just 28% say they’re not concerned.

Most Americans don’t even know where Venezuela is.
Exxon will run it and the President will try to make sure the Venezuelan people get a fair shake.
Andrew has been busy today, spreading his bile in multiple places.

Sad but true. (see my tagline)
Venezuelan’s Ain’t got no problem with them people...if I see them marching up the road probably.
Useless poll from leftists. I could have predicted what their poll says before it was taken.
Won't be Exxon. They already said in their televised meeting with Trump that Venezuela is quote "un-investible" and the next day, Trump said he was cutting them out of any possible participation, just to make sure.
Or Greenland either.
You mean public school kids now. Geography is probably one of the courses no longer taught.
I wish Trump would take out Putin like Maduro, would solve 3/4 of the world’s problems. Then just China and other morons left.
Yahoo News? Fake news
Yahoo News Propaganda

Why don’t’ you take your tds out of the US.
Exactly.
Someone had to show Yahoo News where it was on the map.

Most trust Trump and who cares about a bunch of fake polls.
