A TIPP poll shared by @IAPolls2022 on X during the reporting window from 4:45 a.m. to 6:45 a.m. UTC on January 22, 2026, indicates 49% of Americans approve of the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, up 12 points, with 37% disapproving. The poll, conducted January 6-9 among 1,479 adults, shows higher approval among Hispanics at 56%, up 26 points, and 30% disapproval, according to the TIPP Insights article linked in the X post. This public opinion data emerges amid ongoing U.S. policy discussions on Venezuela, including Senator Marco Rubio's planned testimony on January 28 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on President Donald Trump's Venezuela actions, as announced in X posts during prior reporting windows. Venezuelan United Socialist Party leader Diosdado Cabello resumed his 'Con el Mazo Dando' television program early January 22, threatening civilians, per X posts like @agusantonetti's, following his denial of Chavismo infighting on January 21 state television.
