In a video taken from the screen of the state-owned Venezuelan Television (VTV), it was broadcast on WhatsApp and social networks showing the results of a survey carried out by the firm Hinterlaces, in which it is read that 79% of those consulted agree with a foreign intervention in Venezuela and the narrator is heard saying that: “that sheet could have some drawbacks, it is important that you check if this information is correct.” The video with the poll is authentic, but not recent.

But the video was taken out of context and therefore is a manipulation.
