A new survey suggests the public leans in favor of President Donald Trump’s decision to seize Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, while revealing deep divisions along party lines.

The Daily Mail poll, released Tuesday, indicates that the military action is broadly viewed as effective. A majority of respondents said the operation went well, while only a small minority labeled it a failure; a sizable share remained undecided.

Support and opposition varied dramatically by political affiliation. Republicans were overwhelmingly supportive of the move, while most Democrats rejected it. Independents were closely split, with backing and opposition nearly even.

The survey also probed reactions to Trump’s remark that the United States would be “running” Venezuela for the immediate future. That comment drew strong concern from Democrats, whereas Republicans were more divided, with just over half expressing little to no worry and a significant minority voicing unease about U.S. involvement in “running” the country.

Overall toplines showed that more registered voters supported the action than opposed it, with a notable portion still unsure. Specifically, 43% favored the decision to capture Maduro, compared with 36% who opposed it.

The poll was conducted by J.L. Partners among 999 registered voters on January 5–6, and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
