CBS News poll finds most would oppose U.S. military action in Venezuela, say Trump hasn't explained

Most Americans, regardless of party affiliation, are skeptical about US military intervention in Venezuela and demand clearer explanations from the White House.

A new poll reveals that nearly 70% of Americans say they don't think the US should intervene militarily, with only a small minority expressing support for such action. Notably, even among Republicans, most say Trump has not clearly explained his stance on military involvement in Venezuela.

Meanwhile, many Americans are more concerned about rising prices and economic instability at home rather than hearing rhetoric from the White House about inflation.

The perception that US military actions would not have a significant impact on reducing the flow of illicit drugs into the country seems to be widespread among Americans, with over 60% stating this in the poll.

However, a small but significant portion of MAGA Republicans are actually more supportive of potential military action, suggesting that some factions within the Republican base may be more deferential to Trump's positions on foreign policy.

The economy and handling of inflation remain top issues for many Americans, with over 70% disapproving of Trump's performance in this area. A significant portion of those who judge him mainly based on economic matters believe he is not spending enough time addressing the issue.

Deportation policies continue to be a contentious issue, with most Democrats and independents expressing dissatisfaction with the current program, while nearly two-thirds of Republicans say it does not impact their evaluation of Trump's overall performance.
 
I'm low-key surprised by how divided Americans are on this Venezuela thing πŸ€”. I mean, 70% saying no to military intervention? That's a big number! It's like they're watching Stranger Things and realizing that just because you have a cool spaceship doesn't mean you should blast off into space without a plan πŸ˜‚. On a more serious note, it's refreshing to see people prioritizing economic issues at home over international policy. I guess Trump's handling of inflation is still a major letdown for many Americans πŸ“‰. And interestingly, the MAGA Republicans who are down with military action might be the ones most closely tied to Trump's base... could that be a sign that some folks are more about loyalty than logic? πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ
 
it seems like americans are pretty divided about trump's foreign policy decisions, especially when it comes to venezuela πŸ€”
i think it's because a lot of ppl are more worried about stuff that happens in their own backyard, like rising prices and economic instability πŸ“‰
but at the same time, some people are still looking for clear answers from trump on how he'd handle things in venezuela, especially on military intervention πŸ’‘

i drew a little diagram to try and sum up how ppl feel about it:
```
+---------------+
| Military |
| Intervention |
+---------------+
|
|
v
+---------------+ +---------------+
| 60% | | 40% |
| don't think | | support |
+---------------+ +---------------+
```
anyway, it's clear that trump has a tough time on this issue, especially when it comes to explaining his stance πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
What's going on with all these polls?! πŸ€” It's like, Americans are so over hearing about Trump talking about Venezuela... Can't they just think about their own problems for once? πŸ˜‚ Like, inflation and stuff is a huge deal right now! I mean, who cares if there are drugs coming in from Venezuela when prices are going up 10%?! 🀯

And it's weird that some people actually think military action would make a difference... like, no one really knows how that would work, do they? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Plus, Trump hasn't even explained his stance clearly to most Republicans! πŸ˜‚ How can we trust him on this?

I'm also curious about these MAGA Republicans who are more supportive of military action... is it because they're just super loyal to Trump or what? πŸ€‘ Do you think that's a good idea? Shouldn't politicians be making decisions based on what's best for the country, not just their own agendas?! πŸ€”
 
Ugh, can't we just get some clear info on what's going on in Venezuela already? 🀯 I mean, 70% of Americans are like "nope, don't wanna go to war" and you'd think that's a big deal. Meanwhile, our economy is still tanking and inflation is through the roof... when are we gonna talk about those issues?! πŸ€‘ It feels like everyone's too busy being divided on Venezuela to care about what's happening at home. And Trump's handling of it? Forget about it... 70% disapproving? Yikes! 😬
 
I'm so done with Trump's handling of inflation lol πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ like what even is he doing over there? 70% of Americans disapproving of his job on the economy is straight fire πŸ”₯. I mean, can't we just focus on making America great for actual Americans instead of getting all caught up in Venezuela drama? And btw, those MAGA Republicans who are actually supporting military action are straight weirdos πŸ˜‚ what's next, joining some militia group? πŸ€ͺ
 
The whole US thing just got really messy 🀯. So, what's going on is that the majority of Americans are pretty chill about intervening in Venezuela via military means - like, they're totally against it 🚫. And yeah, even among Republicans, there's a big chunk who think Trump hasn't been super clear about his stance on this stuff. But, at the same time, people are way more worried about the state of their own economy and inflation than they are about what's going down in Venezuela.

It seems like most Americans just don't think that military action is gonna make a huge difference in curbing the flow of illicit drugs into the country πŸ€”. And it's interesting to see that some folks within the Republican base, especially those who identify as MAGA supporters, are actually more down with potential military intervention. But overall, it seems like people just want Trump to focus on addressing their economic woes πŸ’Έ.

And let's be real, Trump isn't exactly killing it in terms of handling inflation πŸ“‰. Like, over 70% of Americans are pretty disappointed with him on this front. And when it comes to deportation policies, there's some pretty clear divisions across the board - Democrats and independents are all like "nope" 🚫, while a big chunk of Republicans just don't think it affects their view of Trump overall πŸ‘€.
 
it's like... americans are all about that economy life rn πŸ“ŠπŸ€‘ they're more worried about inflation and prices rising than about trump getting involved in another foreign drama πŸ’ΈπŸŒŽ meanwhile, trump fans are still salty about his handling of deportation policies πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ it's interesting to see the divide within the republican party tho... some people are all about that trump power πŸ’ͺ while others are like "hey, let's focus on the economy, bruh" πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ anyways, i think it's cool how americans are speaking truth to power with these polls πŸ“ŠπŸ—£οΈ
