The fact that Maduro can’t get above a 15% approval rating when he controls the entire government and media in the country is much more relevant to the present situation than past actions by the US. Maduro can only rely so much on the big bad US as a scapegoat for his own failings.
Meanwhile, it’s pretty weird how the Economist fails to mention the fact that UK literally stole Venezuela’s gold reserves that were in British banks after they didn’t like the outcome of the election. That’s the rules based world order you support in action right there. But you keep on pretending it’s all Maduro’s failings because engaging with reality is evidently uncomfortable for you.
That poll should not be viewed as a measure of Maduro’s popularity. It instead shows that the opposition is in disarray and the population has little faith in their ability to carry out policy goals. Given that political repression is rife under Maduro, that is hardly surprising. As for polling on specific policies, what of it? I’ve frequently seen it be the case in the US that a policy is popular or unpopular separate from a given politician who backs it. None of this
If we instead look at polls that directly ask about his approval rating, it’s clear that most Venezuelans would have preferred that he stuck to driving buses rather than driving their country into the ground.
Where’s the poll buddy, also why do you keep lying when you know full well the west seized the assets that Venezuela legally owns and put sanctions on the country. At least lie about something more believable.
Once again, I’m asking for the actual study. You may not be aware of this, but study methodology matters a lot and depending on how polling is done it can produce wildly different results. It’s important to know what demographics were polled, what sort of questions were asked, and so on. You keep linking articles that just throw out a number, but don’t actually explain how this number was arrived at.
However, one clear sign that these articles are full of shit is the fact that US backed coup failed. If the government actually had 15% support it would’ve been incredibly easy to topple.

The Economist is a literal propaganda paper of UK oligarchs. It provides no actual source for its claims, and it relies on people simply accepting such statements because they fit with their preconceptions. https://www.sott.net/article/331691-Dont-believe-the-propaganda-Venezuelans-support-for-Maduro-increasing
