The most recent national survey by the firm DataViva shows a broad and sustained rejection of Venezuelan public opinion to actions that affect the country’s strategic assets, to any form of foreign military aggression and a significant decrease in support for the extremist María Corina Machado.
According to the results, 88% of those surveyed consider that the forced sale of CITGO constitutes a theft of an asset that belongs to all Venezuelans, compared to 12% who perceive it as a right of the United States, which reflects a majority vision of defense of the national heritage.
Along the same lines, the rejection of foreign military actions reaches practically unanimous levels. 96% of those consulted disagree with US military action against a Venezuelan oil tanker, this registers one of the highest levels of consensus observed in the study, even among traditionally polarized sectors.
The results also show an increase in rejection and a sustained drop in support for María Corina Machado. 89% of those interviewed express rejection or a lot of rejection towards his figure, while only 11% express support or a lot of support, an action that shows a marked disconnection with large sectors of the population.
Likewise, the survey reveals a majority delegitimization of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the leader. Among those who express their opinion, 80% consider that such recognition is a farce, perceiving it as a political action without broad social support or the capacity for cohesion, even within the opposition.
Faced with the hypothesis of a foreign military attack against Venezuela, a position of general rejection predominates. 90% reject the idea of US military aggression, while only 6% express their agreement, confirming their clearly minority nature.
Altogether, the results reflect a public opinion oriented towards the defense of sovereignty, the rejection of foreign intervention and the loss of support for leaderships and narratives perceived as contrary to the national interest.
